Linux went from 1.14% to 1.65% and Ubuntu now holds a market share of 0.51%. The market share of Windows 7 has also dropped, but many users are still actively using outdated Windows 7, which could be due to its huge number of enterprise users.
According to NetMarketShare, Windows 7 saw a drop from 22.77% to 20.41% last month.
The report shows that 20.41% of desktops still use Windows 7.
Even worse, some are still using Windows XP, according to the report.
According to tests done by BleepingComputer, Microsoft is still allowing Windows 7 users to upgrade to Windows 10 for free using the Media Creation Tool.
