From 90% to just over 30% (sometimes less) in little more than a decade

Windows market share

Summary: As Android and GNU/Linux grow (Chrome OS is also based on GNU/Linux) we must come to accept and generally understand that Windows is rapidly losing its "default OS" status and Microsoft is currently filling the media with FUD (over an Apache bug that's already patched anyway). The StatCounter-calculated Microsoft Windows market share for October: 32.44%. November: 32.34%. December (so far): 31.94%. That's a 0.5% erosion in just two months. The corporate media wants us to think that Vista 11 has has been a success (Microsoft pays fake 'journalists' to say that it has certainly saved Microsoft and that Windows still has a market share of over 90%)
