Windows 11 still not winning the OS popularity contest
At the same time, Windows 10 slipped below the 70 percent mark to 69.77 percent. But Windows 7 actually gained share month-on-month, rising to 10.24 percent from 9.61 percent, as did Windows 8.1, growing to 2.54 percent from 2.45 percent. Windows 8 was also up to 0.79 percent from 0.64 percent and Windows XP edged up to 0.4 percent.
It'll surprise no one that Windows remains the dominant desktop OS of choice by a country mile, with a market share of 75.09 percent. Apple's OS X remained in second spot with 15.63 percent, and Linux took 2.77 percent of the pie, with others, including FreeBSD, sitting well back. Adoption of Windows 11 is touted by some PC makers to drive a refresh cycle next year, with businesses generally holding off on deploying the latest OS until around 18 months after launch. ®
