Which explains why Windows - which 25 years ago had 95% desktop share in the
U.S. - is now down
to 65%.  Macs are up to 23.5%. 

Linux, Chrome and Unknown make up the rest, with roughly 4% each. None of
which were even a blip (or in the case of Chrome, did not exist) 25 years ago.
 

The move away from Windows is real, and ongoing.  MS knows this, and is
probably putting less resources into Windows as a result. At least, it
certainly LOOKS that way. 

To be fair, there are obviously many more PCs in use today than 25 years ago.
 So in real numbers, there are many more Windows PCs in use today than 25
years ago.  But the point is, there are now several viable options other than
Windows. 

Which has never been true before.
