> According to a StockApps.com data presentation, Windows has lost 17% of its market share in the last decade.
Hardly a representative sample. The headline is a misleading generalization. Their user base won't capture the millions of people forced to use Windows for work.
If you include mobile devices, the Windows market share has probably dropped far more, and that's a more interesting story that this company can't tell us.
- runjake 4y agoI had the same feeling, so I went and Googled and pretty much every source I found pinned Windows at about 75%, plus or minus one or two.
