Microsoft's share breakdown has Windows 10 on 24 percent, Windows 8.1 on 18 percent, Windows 8 on 3 percent, and Windows 7 on 55 percent.
Microsoft took a brief moment to share with Build 2016 attendees the not-so-surprising momentum of Windows 10 adoption and usage.
Yesterday at Microsoft's BUILD event, Windows head Terry Myerson announced that there are now over 270 million devices running Windows 10.
According to U.S.-based analytics vendor Net Applications, Windows 10 powered 15.6% of all Windows PCs in March, a 1.4-point increase from the month prior.
Clearly, Windows 10 picked up momentum last month. Meanwhile, Windows 8.1 also slid slightly down to 9.56% (and with Windows 8 users added in, the previous version of Microsoft's desktop OS totals a 12.01% market share).
Moving on to mobile presents a stark contrast to Windows' dominance on the desktop. What's more, the combined Windows Phone numbers are minuscule in comparison to iOS and Android. Stats from March show that this trend is continuing, as usage of the Linux client declined by 0.06% down to just 0.85%. All the while Windows Phone has teetered ever so slightly from 2.60% in August 2015 to 2.54% in March of 2016.
We don't have more details about the Windows 10 Mobile Cumulate Update 10586.212, but without any doubts, this update will be released sometime soon and we will give you more information about it once that will happen. As far as mobile is concerned, the results are very similar to Google dominating mobile search results and the category of "other" (presumably other locally sourced efforts) putting up a defense at 38.94%.
Microsoft's Lumia 950 and 950 XL devices have been in the markets since October, and the two phones have been gaining a lot of eyeballs. Only time will tell.
