analytics.usa.gov Reckons Windows "Market Share" Fell to Just 38%, Vista 11 Not Even a Third of Windows Users

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Feb 20, 2026

Windows share

"There were 2.23 billion sessions in the last 30 days," says analytics.usa.gov today. Less than 40% of those came from Windows and only one in 8.5 sessions or about 2 sessions out of 17 were from Vista 11.

How very impressive. This coming summer Vista 11 turns 5. █
