Windows 10 is finally the most common Microsoft OS… three years after launch

For the first time since its launch in the middle of 2015, Microsoft’s Windows 10 operating system has taken the top spot as the most-installed version of Windows, and therefore the most common OS in the world. In December Windows 10 finally overtook Windows 7 as the go-to Microsoft OS, where the two had previously been level-pegging over October and November. Before that it was Windows 7 all the way, despite the free upgrade opportunities Microsoft gave its latest operating system. According to Net MarketShare Windows 10’s share rose to 39.22% in December, while Windows 7’s fell down to 36.90%. Below that you’re looking at Windows XP as the next most prevalent version, though that only has 4.54% of the market share. That makes Win10 only the most widely installed version of the ubiquitous computer OS, but does that necessarily make it the most popular? By one metric the answer is obviously yes, but the software has had a rather rocky road with both consumer and commercial users being less than overwhelmingly enthusiastic about it...
