We Had Completely Underestimated Windows Server 2003's Longevity

JANUARY 1, 2018 - TYSON CONTINENT'S RETRO COMPUTER LAB

Getting the data from December 2017, it seems like Windows XP, 7, 8 and 8.1, and even Server 2008 are still going strong, having the following percentage points: But what about, Windows 10, the current hogger of the Windows industry? Windows 10 has touched on 40% market share as of this data, officially Microsoft's new OS the edge over older versions of Windows, Mac, and Linux for many years to come.
 * Windows XP = 3.64%
 * Windows 7 = 30.66%
 * Windows 8 = 2.16%
 * Windows 8.1 = 9.28%
 * Windows Server 2008 = 13.22%

But what about Windows Vista? It's safe to say Vista is dead. It currently has 1.03% market share, and will most likely drop below 1% beginning 2018. Microsoft dropped support for the aging OS in April 2017, and it's surprising how it hasn't dropped below this mark already! The OS received negative reviews, and some call it good that Vista ended support, other users, not so much.

What's even more surprising is that Windows Server 2003 still has 0.01% market share! It had hanging on to this since May, and we said in our Windows 98 dying thread back in 2015, we said this version will die in either 2016 or 2017. We were completely wrong. We might see this aging OS die in 2018, or even 2019 if we're lucky enough!

This concludes our Windows market share update of December 2017.
