More than Linux is not so difficult after all, given the large amount of computers that are sold with Windows 8 already installed and thanks to the millionaires of Microsoft contracts with brands. By the side of Linux, the little impact (which comes from the hand of the little investment that is made to the OS to make it known) and the reduced amount of machines that are sold with a Linux already installed and for the worse, with a distro that isn't the best of all (Ubuntu).


However, this is not the hour of the lamentations for Microsoft, since just a Windows 8 month exceeded the quota usage of Linux. This means that Windows 8 has been with 1.49%, while Linux walks 1.34%, all this despite the fact that Linux has been rising slowly in market share in recent months.

And it is that in addition to the paraphernalia of brands that manufacture exclusively for Windows 8, there is talk of the great power of Microsoft share that does not allow the growth of other OS; among all the versions, 90% of the computers in the world use any edition of Windows. In addition, there to consider that the use of Mac OS X has risen significantly since the month of July (according to Netmarketshare), a percentage that nor Windows 8 has been able to still overcome, but it will in the very short term.

The positive is, highlight the rise of Android, a Linux-based system, which reaches 28% of quota usage in mobile phones although it must be said that it is far exceeded by iOS with 61%.

Do you wonder if they are accurate and certain data that shed these measurements? Because it is the same question I do. And the only answer I have is that I doubt very much that are reliable data at 100 percent.

I also wonder what would happen if only measured the Windows 8 Retail and Upgrade copies that have not been purchased as OS installed on a new computer, forcibly. They reach the same figures that now that add all versions of Windows 8?
