Last month, NetMarketShare reported that Windows 10 claimed 22.99% of the market. Today, the firm has released the stats for the month of September (2016) which includes an interesting change. According to the latest stats, Windows 10 lost a bit of its market share last month — the OS now claims 22.53% of the market, which means it lost 0.46 of the market in September. This is quite interesting as Windows 7 has gained 1.07 of the market last month.
Windows XP, on the other hand, still claims 9.11% of the market while Windows 8.1 is claiming 7.83% of the market. For those wondering, OS X 10.11 claims 4.07% of the market right now (down from 4.38%) while Linux claims 2.23% of the market (up from 2.11%).
Earlier this week, Microsoft stated that Windows 10 is running on 400 million active devices, which is quite a big number. However, the latest data from NetMarketShare is certainly very interesting as this is the first time Windows 10 has lost market share in the past year or so.
