It looks like the author of this article tested with Windows 7 and Windows 10.
What would be really interesting is if the same tests could be performed with all of the other, older versions of Windows... why? Well, then you'd know the version of Windows in which this phenomena first appears (it could not possibly have existed in Windows 1.0 and probably didn't exist until several subsequent versions later). So that knowledge of where it first appears could be interesting... That is, I'd love a Raymond Chen deep-dive explanation for the Microsoft "why" of this phenomenon...
