Windows Phone's market share slightly slows its decline but does not leave the ICU

We have already spoken on other occasions about the bad times for Windows Phone and what is worse, the difficult times that seem to be coming. The predictions are not good, but at least it looks like the platform plummet has slowed down

We don't know if it is temporary or not, but the figures given by NetMarketShare referring to last November show some changesRegarding the share of presence of Redmond's mobile operating systems in the different markets as well as their browsers.

From NetMarketShare we analyze platforms, browsers, systems and in all of them Microsoft has a striking representation. Thus, the market for computer operating systems continues to show good he alth.

Windows on Desktops

If we take into account the global number of existing computers, the Windows platform decreases but in an almost imperceptible way In this way it dominates the market with 90.95% compared to the previous percentage of 91.39%. Far above other platforms such as Mac and Linux.

And the second place is occupied by the Apple operating system with 6.74% while Linux, the kingdom of lovers of free _software_ have to settle for 2.31%. So absolute domain.

Slowing the fall on Windows Phone

And if in desktop computers the situation is excellent, on the side is its mobile platform. Windows Phone continues to fall although for the most optimistic with a slowdown that may allow us to think of a not so black future.

Unsurprisingly, Windows Phone remains critical but stable, subject to that 1.75% market share which is down from the 1.95% it had in the previous month. We must wait to know the evolution of the patient.

If originally it wanted to be an alternative to iOS, a tough task lies ahead, because although Cupertino's drop from 25.78% to 25.71% ,are still too far away. And let's not say Android, which continues to lead and grow from 68.54% to 68.67%.

Situation in browsers

And finally it's time to talk about browsers and if we refer to Microsoft we have to talk about Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge Between them they show off of 28.39%, although in the case of Internet Explorer it continues to experience a drop, dropping 2% this month and thus staying at 21.66%.

In the case of the most recent bet, Microsoft Edge, it remains with a 5.21% presence in the market . Some numbers that are very far from what Chrome looks like, with 55.83%, which continues to be the most popular option with Firefox occupying the third position with a percentage of 11.91%.

With these numbers in hand it is clear that both in terms of desktop systems and browsers from Redmond can rest easy, not so much in terms of Windows Phone, who, although stopping his fall, cannot get out of the ICU.
