    The September numbers are in and the results are…. (drum roll, maestro):

    Windows

    NetMarketshare (all desktop OSs) – Win7 has hovered between 46 and 49% for the past year, now at its lowest, 46.22%, down measurably from August. Win10 is at its highest share in the past year, up just a bit at 28.65%. XP and 8.1 continue slow, steady declines, now at 5.5% for XP, 5.8% for 8.1. Big winner this month is “Other,” which now holds 10% market share, its highest in a year.

    StatCounter (Windows by version) – Big drop for Win7, from 45% to 44% in the past month. Big boost for Win10, from 37.9 to 39.3%. In the past year, Win10 has gone from 30% to almost 40%.

    Desktop Browsers


    NetMarketshare – Chrome has been hovering between 56 and 60% in the past year, now at 58.5%, down about one point in September vs August. Edge at its lowest point in the past year, down more than half a point in the past month to 5%. IE continues its well-established slide, ending at 13.8%. Good news for Firefox, now at its highest point in the past year, 12.7%.

    StatCounter – Chrome is up a half point, to 64%. Firefox holding steady around 14%. Edge up from 4 to 4.3%

    Gregg Keizer will have a detailed analysis in Computerworld later today.
