There Is A Lot More At Stake For Microsoft With Windows 11 Than Just A New Design
Microsoft has played Windows 11 up really nicely. Turns out, as of May 2021 numbers by online research firm Netmarketshare, Windows has a 87.5% market share in the world of desktop operating systems, with Apple’s macOS just under 10%. In March this year, Microsoft had said that Windows 10 had already clocked installs on 1 billion active devices globally, including PCs and Xbox console. In line with Microsoft’s larger focus at the time, Windows eventually evolved from a product that you’d pay for with every new release, to something that was more of a service. With these numbers for PC shipments being rather impressive for successive years, and 2021 expected to be on similar lines, no wonder Microsoft believes refreshing Windows right now would be a good business move.
