Desktop operating system share

NetMarketShare delivers the following figures for the desktop operating systems share by version for end of November 2018: Windows 7 is at 38.89%, Windows 10 38.14%. Windows 8.1 still has 4.69% share and the current macOS 10.13 gains 3.20%.

So Windows 7 is at the 'end of year 2018' still a thin step ahead of Windows 10. For end of August 2018 we hat the following figures: Windows 7 was at 40.27% and Windows 10 was at 37.8% – so the figures doesn't changed too much. Or in other words: 2019 will be very exciting, because support for Windows 7 will expire in January 2020. I hardly believe that in December 2019 we will see Windows 7 down at 5% and Windows 10 has 95% of the market share.

The statistik from statcounter for desktop operating systems sees Windows 10 at a share of 52.71%, while Windows 7 dropped to 35.53%, and Windows 8.1 is at 6.68%.
