Microsoft Totally Dominates Apple in the Desktop OS Wars

The Microsoft vs. Apple battle continues these days in a wide variety of markets, including in desktop operating system where the Redmond-based software giant has always been the top option for users across the world.

Data offered by research firm NetMarketShare for the month of June indicates that Windows is currently running on no less than 91.51 percent of the computers out there, while Apple’s Mac is very far behind with just 6.12 percent. Linux is third with only 2.36 percent.

Windows has gradually improved its market share in the last 12 months and although it indeed experienced some declines, Microsoft’s operating system never declined below the 91 percent share.

The same thing happened in the case of macOS as well, though this time the drops were more substantial. Apple’s desktop platform declined from 7.37 percent in August last year to 6.07 percent in December 2016, before eventually recovering and going down once again to settle at 6.12 percent.
