statCounter This Month: Android Has Nearly Become Twice as Big as Windows

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Nov 04, 2024

From yesterday: Android at New Highs (47%), Windows at New Lows (24%), Suggests Latest Data From statCounter

Today Windows is down to 23.8%. Perhaps some time soon (even later this week) Android will be more than double that figure. If it happened, it would be an unprecedented milestone. █

Calling Windows "AI" or "CoPilot" won't save it.
