Here are a few of the most interesting Microsoft Windows statistics I was able to dig up. As always, be sure to check back in the future as I will be updating this post as new and updated stats become available.
This report is available in an annual industry report. Some of the data in industry reports include:
- Users
- Demographics
- Revenue
- Growth
- Etc.- all in one place
I try to go through each and every stat regularly and update as much as possible, but we all know that some stats are easier to track down than others. As always, every stat is linked to its original source and has the source date listed.
