Microsoft says Windows 10′ usage surged by 75% year on year
The statistics of Netmarketshare survey companies at the beginning of this month showed that Linux became the biggest winner in April 2020, and the operating system market share increased by 110%.
Windows 7 and Windows 10 lost a total of 2% of the market share, which was acquired by the Linux operating system and Apple’s macOS.
Of course, these data are only collected through some network services for reference only and are not accurate data. In the past, Microsoft never expressed opinions on these data.
But this time Microsoft seems to refute this kind of market share decline in the blog. Microsoft claims that the use of Windows 10 has increased by more than 75% over the previous cycle. Microsoft did not directly reveal the latest installed number of the Windows 10 operating system but refuted the claim that the market share declined from this Netmarketshare data. Microsoft wrote:
As a team we have been spending a lot of time with our customers, OEM partners and teams inside and outside of the company listening and learning. The feedback we are hearing is energizing, and if one thing is clear it is that Windows plays a critical role in helping people navigate the times we are in. Customers are using Windows PCs to stay productive, connect and learn in this time. In fact, over 4 trillion minutes are being spent on Windows 10 a month, a 75% increase year on year.
In the blog post, Microsoft also publicly mentioned the release time of Windows 10 Version 2004 for the first time. Microsoft said that it will be available from May 10.
In addition, Microsoft also mentioned that the Windows 10X version will be the first to be provided for single-screen devices, and the Surface NEO version of Microsoft’s dual-screen foldable device has been delayed.
The Windows 10X version is expected to be released at the end of this year, and the dual-screen devices that have been launched at that time will be able to migrate from the Windows 10 Pro version to the X version.
