Mac OS comes to 9.01% (previous month 9.40%), while Linux runs on 1.92% (previous month 1.88%) of the system. Chrome OS is represented with 0.28% (previous month 0.29%).

Windows 7 has a 'market share' of 42.95% (previous month 43.03%) on the desktop, while Windows 10 is 32.98% (previous month 34.92%). Windows 8.1 is 5.59% and Windows XP is 5.23% (previous month 4.36%). There is not really much going on – I would dismiss the figures for the previous month as statistical fluctuations.
