Operating systems market: on Windows, down Linux
Operating systems, market share September 2020
What emerge is more than one percentage point growth for Windows while the share attributed to Linux slips from what emerged just a few weeks ago. The slice attributed to macOS, which will soon see the arrival of the new Big Sur version, is substantially unchanged. The same goes for Chrome OS.Windows 88.32% (+ 1.34%); macOS 9.72% (+ 0.17%); Linux 1.47% (-1.22%); Chrome OS 0.42% (+ 0.04%).
Focusing on individual releases, the leap forward of Windows 10 stands out, most likely linked to updates from previous editions. NetMarketShare statistics show growth also for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 which reverses the trend recorded in recent months.
Windows 10 61.26% 60.57% (+ 0.69%); Windows 7 22.77% (+ 0.46 %%); macOS 10.15 5.11% (+ 0.08%); Windows 8.1 2.99% (+ 0.30%); macOS 10.14 1.91% (-0.05%); macOS 10.13 1.29% (+ 0.03%); Windows XP 0.78% (unchanged); Windows 8 0.43% (-0.10%).
