Windows 10 now has a 10 point lead over its rivals

June 4, 2019

Netmarketshare’s tallies for traditional form factors (desktop/laptop) show Windows 10 with 45.73 market share (+1.63) against Windows 7 at 35.44 (-0.99). Although an increased margin is no bad thing, it does seem as if we’re sleepwalking into a repeat of the Windows XP end of life saga, with less than seven months to the end of Windows 7, and usage still standing at a third. In fact, amongst systems running Windows, that’s over 40 per cent.

Older versions of Windows continue to drop off, with Windows 8.1 standing at just 3.97 (-0.25). Add in the original Windows 8.0 and that goes up to 4.74 (-0.3).
