Windows remains the most popular operating system for computers by far, and that will never change.

  I suppose that depends on how all gazillion AWS instances running Linux counts.
  • rantwasp 6y ago
    AWS instances run Windows too. And MS makes money off those instances. Also, Azure runs Linux too. Microsoft is in the post-Windows phase and it's working on things that will keep it relevant long term

      Agreed, they have even begun making good hardware outside of gaming. The surface range is hugely popular in the corporate scene.

    On top of Hyper-V actually.

  Only if you play some jedi mind tricks of your own with the definition of a "computer".
  • AnIdiotOnTheNet 6y ago
    You don't need to change the statement much to make it unequivocally true: just change "computers" to "desktop computers".
    • _-___________-_ 6y ago
      Which are nowhere near the most common type of computer, so it's a fairly significant change.

        honestly what kind of gymnatics we have to do in order to just accept the fact that windows is most popular os on desktop/home/work(non-server) PCs?
        • nailer 6y ago
          Yes and zOS is the most popular OS for mainframes.
        • _-___________-_ 6y ago
          Sure, if "computer" to you means "laptop or desktop PC". My smartphone is a computer, which I use at home and work, and it sure as hell doesn't run Windows. Smartphones are a far more significant type of computer in the modern world than laptop or desktop PCs.
