In the most recent Steam Survey, Windows 10 is now at 53.10% of their user base. Still no where near what Microsoft would like to see.
The Rift shows as the most popular VR headset at 0.30%, the Vive is at 0.28%
Too bad there isn't a way to list the amount of users that played a game using Stereo3D (non VR). That would be interesting to know.
Most popular GPU, is the Nvidia GTX 1060 at 11.88%
And a whopping 99.87% have microphones

Recently Steam updated their Privacy settings, mainly due to the on going FaceBook fiasco

As a result, 3rd party sites like Steam Spy can no longer accurately collect Data

New Profile Privacy Settings
April 10 - al
Today’s update expands on your Profile Privacy Settings Page, giving you more control over the privacy of your Steam account. With more detailed descriptions of what profile information is included in each category, you will be able to manage how you are viewed by your friends, or the wider Steam Community.
You can now select who can view your profile’s “game details”; which includes the list of games you have purchased or wishlisted, along with achievements and playtime. This setting also controls whether you’re seen as “in-game” and the title of the game you are playing.
Additionally, regardless of which setting you choose for your profile’s game details, you now have the option to keep your total game playtime private. You no longer need to nervously laugh it off as a bug when your friends notice the 4,000+ hours you've put into Ricochet.
Looking ahead a little, we are also working on a new “invisible” mode in addition to the already existing “online”, “away” and “offline” presence options. If you choose to set yourself to invisible, you’ll appear as offline, but you’ll still be able to view your friends list, send and receive messages. Sometimes you’re feeling social, and sometimes you’re not; this setting should help Steam users be social on their own terms. We hope to have this feature ready for beta release soon.
Like many Steam features, these privacy options come directly from user feedback. If you would like to join that conversation, as always, we welcome you to visit the Steam Discussions and add your feedback.

A few days ago Steam Beta added support for Nitendo Switch Pro controller

I'm happy to be part of the .13% that does not have a microphone. I don't have a camera either - not a really multiplayer gamer at all and don't like the idea of the internet watching or listening to me.
A bit saddened to learn Win 10 is over half the install base now - means I'll have to get that LTSB installed eventually, as DX12 support will eventually become the standard.

Oh gawd that original xbox controller was awful I can't imagine who in their right mind green flagged that one. It's like holding a dinner plate. By far my most hated controller of all time =D

[quote="D-Man11"]This setting also controls whether you’re seen as “in-game” and the title of the game you are playing.[/quote]Oh good - I don't know how many times someone has started messaging me because they think I'm playing a game when I'm actually working on a 3DMigoto bug or trying to make it work in 3D Vision (or farming cards)... "Is that game any good?" "I have no idea - I'm not actually playing it". Sometimes I leave my profile set to offline just to avoid that.
/me changes that setting.

I like that you can hide hours played. At one time I had bought family members games, they never played them. But they were more than happy to log in an then give me crap about my hours played. Yet my argument that they just sit on the cough watching TV for hours on end, isn't justified in their minds. So I unfriended them, changed my user name and put it to offline.
