INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
A kind of sanity returned to Windows' status in May as the outgoing Windows 7 finally dropped some significant user share while Windows 10
padded its tally.According to United States -based analytics vendor Net Applications, Windows 7 sloughed off 1.8 percentage points last
month, accounting for 41.8% of the user share of all personal computers and 47.3% of all those running Windows in May
(The second number is larger than the first because Windows powered 88.4% of all PCs, not 100%.)May's decline was the largest in nearly
two years, excepting a late-2017 reset when Net Applications purged its data of criminal bot traffic.The change from past months was
dramatic: In both March and April, Windows 7 gained ground, exactly the opposite of what Microsoft wants to see as it pushes customers to
adopt Windows 10 and rid themselves of the older Windows 7.
