According to web analytics firm NetMarketshare, Windows 10 lost a little bit of market share in February 2017, down a tenth of a percent, from 25.3% in January to 25.19%. January was the first time that the latest version of the OS crossed the 25% mark, likely taking share from other OSs as other versions of Windows, including XP, and 7, have grown in the same time period.
Windows 7 still has just about half of the market, fluctuating between 47-48%, and only Windows 8.1 has lost any share overall, falling from 8% in November of last year to 6.9% the following month, and more or less staying flat from then until today's writing.
Other slices of the pie include Mac OS X 10.12 with 2.91%, Linux with 2.05%, Mac OS X 10.11 has now been swalled into the "other category" as Windows 8 makes a resurgence with 1.65%, and the "other" category sitting at a rather standard 4.47%.
Microsoft is expected to start the rollout of the Windows 10 Creators Update next month. The update is expected to bring a lot of updates to the OS, such as a new Paint 3D app, a new Windows 10 Game Mode, Windows MyPeople, and much more. On top of that there are new security features to be added in the major update, so hopefully this release will help to increase the overall market share of Windows 10, which is said to be installed on over 500 million devices.
