Windows worldwide market share is stuck at 15% and falling

[Honkybear]

Hello everybody. Market share is simply based on quarterly sales, not saturation, distribution or overall popularity. Producers want you to believe market share is everything because they want an industry that simply runs on sales. Not quality or reliability or saturation.
Usage share and market share are 2 different beasties.
 
Scoff at market share.
 
@bloodline. Agree with everything up until the last point. They're all personal computing devices with different form factors and peripherals. I'm not going to try and do a 20 page presentation on a Tablet, Or a network diagram on a smart phone. The breadth of usage has increased to cover more devices. Additionally most people keep a desktop or Laptop for 4-5 years but a tablet / smart phone for 2-3 years. 1:2 ratio. Market share is a dangerous master because it skews the story in favour of faster turn around popularity. Exactly what the producers want.
 
PS: The truth is, saying "the truth is" at the start of a sentence doesn't convert a view to the truth.

 
 
Well said
