    Windows 7 was really popular. But it never got popular as XP, XP got 70% at the highest. Windows 7 was 50% at the highest.

    The OS space is basically Windows or nothing 🤣

    Ur info is wrong.. see this image https://global-uploads.webflow.com/5d71c5b5ed21579fe7c3535a/5f228bee1f29fa3918231ccd_operating-system-market-share-p-800.png

    The leading Operating System in the OS Industry was Android with 39% global Operating System market share in 2019. Android is the leading mobile operating system. Android’s Operating System market share is followed by Windows 10 with 21% OS market share, Windows 7 with 11%, market share, Windows 8 with 2% OS market share, Apple iOS with 14% share, Apple OS X with 7%, and Other OS’s with 5% OS market share. Linux market share is less than 1% and is accounted for in the Other OS segment. Combining Window 10 market share, Windows 7 market share, Windows 8 market share, and Windows XP market share gives us Microsoft Windows market share, which is 36% of the OS market. Apple’s total OS market share was 21% in 2019.



  23. Elnur Ağayev on March 21, 2021 at 1:17 am

    4:08 The total on the list is greater than 100 percent. Has the math changed?



  24. Snailed lt on March 21, 2021 at 1:20 am

    Two quick google searches told me that there are 1.5 Billion PC’s in the world, and about 3.5 Billion smartphones. So how do you explain that the mobile Operating Systems only stand for around 11% of the market share? Do the vast majority of people run smartphones with no OS?

  28. PH P on March 21, 2021 at 1:23 am

    Thanks but I think your stats are biased: W3schools website is not the best source of stats because most people consult it at work, on a PC, while in the same time hundreds of millions of Android users use their device to communicate and entertainment. I would not be surprised that the market share of Android topples Windows now, in devices owned as well as time spent on them.



  29. Dj mahadu Nannaj on March 21, 2021 at 1:25 am

    Windows Xp Love it

    Windows 10 had a jump of 12% market share in its 1st year. Damn, Windows 8 must have been very bad!



  38. MS Compare on March 21, 2021 at 1:34 am

    Nice!



  39. Robert Evans on March 21, 2021 at 1:34 am

    Ever wonder why MacOS and iOS just keep growing steadily? Windows is "good enough" but Apple’s software is excellent.



  40. Greg Conquest on March 21, 2021 at 1:35 am

    I don’t understand how these stats are calculated. For site visits and devices sold, I think android and iOS is way higher than Windows. Search online for: ios windows "market share"



  41. statsmoto on March 21, 2021 at 1:35 am

  42. Dennis on March 21, 2021 at 1:37 am

    💠Windows 7 and Windows Xp are the legends R.I.P FOR BOTH.

    7:21 that 0.4 percent is every school ever



  44. Tee Pee on March 21, 2021 at 1:40 am

    Windows is so much more versatile the mac. You can do just about and anything, and install just about anything. Mac gives you limits. This is why windows will always be top dog.



  45. Maria .-. on March 21, 2021 at 1:40 am

    WinXP: Nooooo……

    You may now take some rest Windows XP. You fought hard til the end. Let them ( its predecessor ) take your job. They will be soon as legendary as you are… You’ll be always in our hearts. Thanks for so many memories.

    Please synchronize the comments on the top and the graph! I don’t want a comment about 2007 when the first Iphone came out when it is 2017 xd



  49. Welton Barbosa on March 21, 2021 at 1:42 am

    I expected the market share of mobile OS to be bigger… Android take that 10% , but 80% is desktop type OS … that´s a lot of desktop/laptop around.
    KaiOS is not even on the list



  50. Ranking KPOP on March 21, 2021 at 1:43 am

    Hello. Is it true that this kind of vid can’t be monetized anymore? I hope you will answer me because Im just starting my statistics channel. Then they said statistics channels cant be monetized. I hope you will notice my comment so I will knpw if I will still continue making statistics videos. Thanks!
