If you are keeping track of Windows 10’s adoption, you probably know that the operating system has hit a plateau. According to NetMarketShare, it has been hovering around the 25 percent usage share mark for a few months now. That said, it still remains the second most-popular version of Windows (and OS), coming after Windows 7.
However, if we look at the business space in particular, Windows 10 is actually nowhere near as popular with PC users. Microsoft’s latest operating system lags far behind Windows 7 and Windows XP too. If might expect Windows 7 to come out ahead, the fact that Windows XP ranks higher may come as a surprise.
There are two reasons for that. First, Windows XP was released over 15 years ago. So, it’s quite old now. But, more importantly, it is also quite risky to use, as Microsoft officially dropped support for the venerable OS three years ago.
Spiceworks, which revealed the usage share figures of the main PC operating systems in the business space, says that Windows 7 has a share of 69 percent, followed by Windows XP with 14 percent.
