(Not even counting Android; Microsoft Windows is only on a quarter of Internet-connected computers by such measures)
Windows market share in Brazil: (laptops/desktops only, not counting mobile)
Windows market share in Russia: (laptops/desktops only, not counting mobile)
Windows market share in India: (laptops/desktops only, not counting mobile)
Windows market share in China: (laptops/desktops only, not counting mobile)
Windows market share in South Africa: (laptops/desktops only, not counting mobile)
Summary: An “Unknown” OS (not Windows) is taking market share away from Windows; whatever is going on with these statistics, it seems clear Microsoft isn’t coping with a fast-changing world, hence so many layoffs (far more than 10,000 — the “official” number that media loves parroting without investigating; Microsoft is 42 billion dollars in debt and the debt grew more than tenfold since 2010)
“Microsoft, the world’s most valuable company, declared a profit of $4.5 billion in 1998; when the cost of options awarded that year, plus the change in the value of outstanding options, is deducted, the firm made a loss of $18 billion, according to Smithers.”
–The Economist, 1999

Microsoft has lost a lot of its power (now it just huffs and puffs about “AI” with paid-for puff pieces)
Summary: According to samples from 3 million sites (locally uploaded data), Microsoft is down from almost complete dominance of the browser market in China (2010) to almost nothing; even Edge is hovering at around 5% — nowhere near the past levels

Meanwhile, Microsoft-funded ‘journalists’ insist that Google is doomed because of ChatGPT…
The data tells another story:
Summary: Bing down from 1.1% to 0.9% since ChatGPT was first “unveiled” (distracting from 4 consecutive months of mass layoffs in the company)

Since COVID-19 broke out in China:
National security will improve if or when Windows is eliminated altogether. Months ago GNU/Linux rose above 4%.
Summary: The rate at which GNU/Linux is adopted in Taiwan is noteworthy; if those statistics are reliable enough, then from around 1% of desktops/laptops in 2019 GNU/Linux rose to about 4% by now

Windows on just 1 in 5 Internet-connected computers? In 2009 things were different…
Summary: The corporate media, funded by Microsoft et al, won’t say this; so somebody should, citing this latest data

Summary: Judging by some of the world’s most populous nations (e.g. China, Nigeria, India, Indonesia, Brazil, and US), Windows is in a bad shape; in some of these countries Windows now has <10% market share

Edge developers recently laid off, too (the media barely mentioned this; it’s all about chaffbot hype)
Summary: A sobering look at India shows that Microsoft lost control of the country (Windows slipped to 16% market share while GNU/Linux grew a lot; Bing is minuscule [1, 2]; Edge fell to 1.01% and now approaches “decimal point” territories)
