Windows 10: Market Share December 2017

Supposedly there are millions of W7 bots, so NetMarketShare has retconned their data to strip market share from W7.
It makes no sense.
Bots need a machine to run on and they are visiting sites, so therefore they are actually part of the market.

It's like the Transportation Department saying, "since 5% of vehicles on the road are stolen, we are removing them from the road congestion statistics."

Here is the retconned info for last 6 months:




Data from NetMarketShare

Three problems of Microsoft Edge

"... most folks do not attempt to put their entire collection of favorites in the horizontal favorites bar"? Can you provide any research
or survey data to support this conclusion? From my observation, people around me and I would like to put and display the entire collection of favorites in the horizontal bar.

Furthermore, since Chrome, Firefox and IE, which hold the most share of the web browser market, all support multiple-level display in the horizontal favorites bar, maybe Microsoft Edge should consider
using a more flexible strategy to satisfy users with different preferences.
