Windows 10, Microsoft’s latest and greatest operating system, continues to grow at a very steady pace, adding more and more users with each passing month.
And while the only real statistics that matter are provided by the company itself, third party sources usually paint an equally accurate picture.
StatCounter data, for example, shows that Windows 10 has finally managed to reach the 10% market share mark for the very first time since launch — in the process becoming the third most used OS in the world.
An important achievement given the fact that it has been around for only four months.
Take a look:
Windows 10 has managed to overtake not just Windows XP and Mac OS X in these four months, but the operating system is also getting closer to Windows 7, still the absolute and undisputed leader of the desktop operating systems world.
Redmond would certainly be pleased with this milestone, as it wants to avoid the Windows XP scenario ahead of the 2020 end of support date for Windows 7.
Speaking of which, this also marks the first time that the world’s most popular operating system has dipped below the 50% mark.
A sign that Windows 10 has started to impact its market performance?
