You can’t tell much from this chart, the total number of devices has exploded over time. Even though Windows’ share is dropping, the actual number of Windows devices could be much higher than ever, depending on how big the whole market has gotten.

That's a really stupid chart; It's displaying percentage of "marketshare". But what is the market here? It's the OS market - regardless of platform. So your server gets a vote, your fridge, your phone, your car, your nuclear submarine targeting control system, they all get a vote. Windows and the VCL primarily targets the Server or Desktop segment so those are the only that are relevant. It's pretty irrelevant that the majority of smartphones are running Android and the majority of embedded systems are running Linux, because those platforms are not targeted by Windows or the VCL. I believe Linux surpassed Windows in the server segment many years ago, but we can't see that from the chart.

I have some good experiments with DeepSeek, but for now I consider AI only as a tool to give me some ideas (Or to kind-of confirm my ideas). Most of private codes, like mine for customers, are not available for AI to train on and I believe that won't change soon.

Most private code is for profit, so AI will never see it. Our software (very niche market for government financing) is written completely in Delphi (VCL) and it will never be available for AI.

I guess most Delphi code is private, never available to AI agents to train, something like dark-matter or dark-energy. A pity 😓

You have listed chatGPT. Which version(s) were you using? My own experience is that neither the free chatGPT nor Gemini are any good for producing Delphi code. I haven't tried any others.
