Quote:New market share data shows that Windows 10 is incredibly close to overtaking Windows 7 and become the world’s number one desktop operating system.

Updated numbers for the month of October were published only a few minutes ago by NetMarketShow, and they confirm Windows 10 adoption is on the rise, while Windows 7’s share declines every month.

Right now, Windows 7 continues to be the number one desktop platform with 39.35%, down from 40.88% in the previous month, but this drop has brought Windows 10 much closer.
Microsoft’s latest operating system now has a share of 38.28%, an increase from 37.44% in September, and if this trend is maintained next month, there’s a good chance a switch of places finally happens.
