That would be 1 in 4 users and that's just not accurate at all.
What you mean to say is 25% of Windows users still use windows 7.
Its still an alarming statistic, and no wonder bruteforce cyberattacks are still so effective today considering it hasn't received security updates in like 10 years.
I sincerely hope those people aren't connecting their devices to the internet like, at all.
I'm fairly sure at this point even using a Debian based distro is better than sticking to windows 7.
