Windows 7 is far from dead. The operating system, which is no longer supported, still has a market share of about 20%. It seems to be mainly business customers.
The number of users of Windows 10 is growing steadily. Market share of the latest version of the operating system is 64.04% at the end of October compared to 61.26% a month earlier. That reports BleepingComputer.
The eleven-year-old Windows 7, which is no longer supported by Microsoft since the beginning of this year and therefore no longer receives official updates, retains a market share of 20.41%. That is a decrease of 2% compared to last month. It may be large companies that have not yet switched.
Windows 7 was a viral operating system with enterprises, and the transition to 8 and now to Windows 10 is clearly not taking place.
For those of you wondering: Windows XP is not entirely dead about twenty years after its launch. 0.87% of the computers are still running on the system.
The cake remains small for non-Microsoft systems. Use of macOS X 10.15 drops from 5.11% to 4.88%. The various Linux distributions increase from 1.14% to 1.65%. Ubuntu, meanwhile, sits at 0.51%.
