analytics.usa.gov: Windows is Losing Market Share

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 19, 2025,
updated Dec 19, 2025

Earlier this month we took a look at US OS "market share" only to find Windows at 45%. Now it's down to 44%:

According to statCounter, in North America Windows has indeed gone down.

Looking back at 30 days' data, Windows was at 47%... or 48% in the current fiscal year. So analytics.usa.gov tells us Windows as a whole is gradually going down.

What else does Microsoft have to offer? Many operations, such as GitHub, only amass giant losses. █
