A s per the latest data released by NetMarketShare, Windows 10 has lost some of its loyal users to macOS and Linux distros.
Continuing the legacy, Microsoft’s Windows 10 OS monopolized the market since its launch back in 2015. Recently, it reached the 1 billion active devices milestone – a dream that got delayed by over two years.
But it seems that the sweet success for Windows in the OS market now comes with a pinch of sourness. Speaking of the numbers, the desktop market share for Windows OS (all versions) has dropped by 2% between March 2020 and April 2020.

That void has been filled by Apple’s macOS, which saw a 0.8% boost in market share during the same period. However, what’s surprising is that the desktop market share of Linux distros has increased by 1.5%, which is almost double than that of macOS.
