StatCounter is reporting that after a long and drawn out fight with itself, that Microsoft's Windows 10 OS have finally beaten out Windows 7 in terms of installs. (42.78% vs 41.86%) In other news, there are still people running Vista. "This is a breakthrough for Microsoft," commented Aodhan Cullen, CEO of StatCounter. "Windows 10 was launched at the end of July 2015 and Microsoft will be pleased to have put its Windows 8 experience behind it. However, Windows 7 retains loyalty, especially amongst business users. "Microsoft will be hoping that it can replace it a lot quicker than XP, launched back in August 2001, which only fell below 5pc usage worldwide in June of 2017."
