    MS Power User[^]:

    Net Market Share just released its report for the last month of 2016. The firm today revealed the market share for browsers and operating systems in December. According to the report, Windows 10 now claims 24.36% of the market.

    XP ,Weven, and Mac OS also all increased. I call shenanigans.

    What decreased? Vista and OS/2? VAX?

      Mostly W8.x. And as always with these things the 1 month window has noise of larger amplitude than the one month changes. [By OS](https://www.netmarketshare.com/operating-system-market-share.aspx?qprid=9&qpcustomb=0) [By OS Version](https://www.netmarketshare.com/operating-system-market-share.aspx?qprid=11&qpcustomb=0) To the extent that I find their numbers credible at all, the most interesting result seems to be a sustained slump in OSX numbers. OTOH rival [StatCounter](http://gs.statcounter.com/#desktop-os-ww-monthly-201512-201612) shows a slight gaim. Based on the differences in their models I suspect it comes down to slight gains in the western market (where both companies get most of their data points) and StatCounter showing its data as is - aka showing what people running web sites focused on the west will see - vs NetMarketShare scaling its results per country to reflect the number of users there even if they're not being seen as much - aka trying to show global numbers if it saw everyone equally and most user growth being in countries too poor to afford macs. (ex they might see 10x as many Americans and Chinese, but since there are ~4x as many Chinese online weight the counts so Chinese data collectively has 4x the weight of US data.)

      Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt
