The latest figures from NetMarketShare indicate that Windows 10’s share of the desktop operating system market remains pretty uninspiring, with growth much slower than expected. Windows XP, for some reason, enjoyed a mini-resurgence, posting a gain of 1.28 percentage points, but W7 and W8.1 both saw declines. Edge is also continuing to show very slow signs of adoption.
...in a year, the new OS has grown by just over 5 percent. In comparison, Windows 7 grew by 2 percent in the same time frame. Of course, this is usage share, rather than market share, but in some ways that’s more important as it shows the percentage of people actually using the different operating systems. June wasn’t a great month for Windows 10 either. It went from 26.78 percent share to 26.80 percent, a growth of just 0.02 percentage points. Windows 7 went from having 49.46 percent share to 49.04 percent, a dip of 0.42 percentage points.
