Net Applications clearly marks this as desktop data, but TNW obscures this. With desktops, laptops, netbooks and tablets being so fluid nowadays, TNW should at least mention somewhere that this is desktop only market share.
Wikipedia, the 6th most popular web site in the world (according to Alexa), has Windows as less than 58% of the clients hitting it for February 2013 ( http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/squids/SquidReportOperatingSystems.htm http://stats.wikimedia.org/wikimedia/squids/SquidReportOpera... ). Mac/iPhone/iPad is over 30%, Linux (Android, Ubuntu etc.) is over 7%.
The rise of iOS and Android is the real breaking news story in my book. Windows controls its form factor niche, but that becomes more irrelevant every day. Boasting of Windows 90+% share of the desktop would be like DEC boasting of its market share of minicomputers in the 1970s/1980s.
