Windows 10 is already in one out of every four pcs, windows xp refuses to die

NetMarketShare has updated its data in January 2017 revealing that Windows 10 has increased its market share and that it is already installed on one in four PCs worldwide. The most surprising thing is that Windows XP resists dying and better its quota.

Windows 10 continues to improve its share, Windows XP rebounds slightly

Windows 7 continues to be the most used operating system with a share of 47.20%, second is Windows 10 with 25.30% and third place is occupied by a surprising Windows XP with 9.17%. It is quite remarkable that an operating system that has not received any update since April 2014 continues to occupy third place, something that undoubtedly speaks highly of Windows XP and what it was at the time.

We also have to take into account the large number of institutes, schools, libraries, universities and other institutions that still use Windows XP. Windows XP is about to end 16 years and has managed to increase its share from 9.07% in December to 9.17% in January, a small increase but one that attracts attention given its seniority. Windows 10 has gained approximately 1% market share in a month, the same figure that has lost a Windows 7 that could end up being the new Windows XP.

Globally, 91.41% of the world's PCs work with Windows, so Redmond's continue to dominate with an iron fist and it will continue to be so for many years. In second place is macOS with 6.32% and the third in disagreement is Linux with 2.27%. It is highlighted that the adoption of Linux is growing faster than in previous years but it is still far away. 2017 will also not be the year of Linux on the desktop.
