Windows Down to New Lows in Guinea Bissau and Many Countries Around It
For historical reasons, including colonialism*, the coastline of western Africa has many nations. Some of them are very small. Having just surveyed them all for OS-related statistics, it appears there's a consistent trend. Windows is being replaced by something unknown. Could it be some Chinese operating system running on mobile phones? Or maybe some firewalling equipment that throws statCounter off the scent by altering Web requests? Hard to tell. statCounter might know...
Here's what it looks like this month in Guinea Bissau:
There's similar stuff going on in the cluster of nations near it, e.g. Togo and Liberia. Some of these poor nations (or former French colonies) used to be 100% Windows, at least based on Web usage patterns. Now? Haha, hardly anywhere near 50%. If Android is accounted for, Windows is down to about 10%. █

* We try to reduce - as much as feasible - political content here because the technical issues we deal we transcend politics. For instance, privacy matter to people no matter if they are Democrats or Republicans, Conservatives or Labour, AfD or some incumbent/establishment party in Germany. It would be misguided or at least short-sighted to present those things with political overtones like Microsoft Lunduke intentionally does (to divide people).
