A lot of that is due to the fact that most businesses use Windows almost exclusively.
Even in the tech world, outside of startups and hipster tech companies, there are a lot of developers using Windows (i.e. the vast majority of .NET developers).
I'm not sure what you mean by Apple failing to make inroads outside of the USA as well. They've made inroads all over the western world.
- pjmlp 10y agoAlso according to the Android team on the Android Developers Backstage podcast, the majority of Android Studio installations are on Windows.
- josteink 10y agoMakes sense. People on OSX are probably investing in Xcode, which leaves the majority user share on Windows and in second place, Linux.
- hota_mazi 10y agoHave you actually seen the numbers in the article? MacOS has about 1% market share worldwide.
- toomanybeersies 10y ago1% market share worldwide. I was just recently in Vietnam, unsurprisingly I didn't see a single Apple computer, and most of the computers were running Windows XP. Apple has around 10% [0] of the market for laptop sales (most consumer computers are now laptops, I don't know any non-enthusiasts who have bought a PC in the last 5 years). Now, factor in that those sales figures include less developed countries as well as developed countries, and you're probably look at at a decent margin about 10% of personal computer sales for home use as Apple products.
