win xp touching 80% is just amazing
Epic!
Monopoly
That percentage was well deserved.
Actually 81%
win xp achieving anything without BSOD is amazing
This was interesting - however, not sure mixing mobile OS and desktop OS gives a super clear comparison.
Embedded System OS inclusion would push Linux pretty high up the list as well - a lot of commercial electronics use Linux as the basis of their products (fridge, ovens, hot tubs, thermostats, etc, etc)
Android is based on the Linux kernel. So in a way, Linux on the desktop (or mobile device) finally won and is now the #1 OS. Just not in the way most open source advocates envisioned.
Add in the server market and you'll see a much different picture.
Windows CE is also embedded into a lot of industrial machinery.
A lot of ATMs use various versions of Windows too.
Servers, network communications, special computing units(supercomputers, labs etc) desktops, smart devices, embeds - Linux absolutely everywhere.

Windows XP, the legend!
So good that I forgot about Vista entirely lol. But within the last decade, I've put XP on a laptop that had been running 7 but I lost the OS somehow, and XP really didn't run very well on it. This is one thing that does not age well except in our memories!
@@mike1024. don’t you dare mention that fucking system ever again 😭
@@mike1024. The only Vista memories I have are from the brother of my best childhood friend. His PC had Vista, my friends PC ran XP. XP never had issues and his Vista always had problems. Couldn't even play games on it properly at start. Horrible OS, even though it looked better (more like W7).
@@bradyweishoff8949 There's a reason almost all of us went from XP straight to 7! So much so that we remembered the reason as it was the next version of Windows and totally forgot there was one in between.
@@Rick020 I have a vague memory of the difference in GUI, but how poorly it ran and all of the crashing I definitely remember! I don't think I ever had it installed on a computer, but my dad did.
Now I'm nostalgic for the Windows XP days
yeah, i miss getting viruses every week also
@@sugargliderdude Well yeah but after Service Pack 2 it became a lot better. But if you made a clean install and connected to the internet before you installed SP1 & 2 then you pretty much had a virus instantly.
@@bogrunbergerwas still a great OS
All computers at my school used in South Africa until at least 2011-2012 when Windows 7 got rolled out on the computers that could handle it or new computers brought in (I think the old ones were then given away). In my UK years after March 2013, at the primary school through to the first 2 years of high (2016 or 17) they never upgraded to Windows 8 or 8.1 due to the bad reception even though the computers met the hardware spec and when the school wanted Windows 10 they just replaced all the computers.
In my year and half working at an a bit of everything lifestyle store the offices computers had Windows 7 Pro on paid ESU until May when they upgraded to 10 despite its end of support in 3 years (no word yet if Microsoft will do a similar thing given what they found when XP ended support in 2014). There’s still however an ancient Windows XP computer (it has the sticker still on) in the office even though it’s never been used in the time I’ve been at my job
Try ReactOS
is like xp
Everyone talks about how Win XP and 7 are legends but no one mentions Android's supreme reign which is pretty amazing
And that's a Linux OS BASED
@@rodolfoxavierneto6667 Can't really compare the 2 because it's Desktop vs Mobile
@@rodolfoxavierneto6667 Nothing other than the Kernel is the same
Windows and Android reign in different domains. This will be more interesting if various Android versions were broken into different bars.
I don’t really think it’s that amazing. Almost everyone has a phone and if you’re not using an iPhone it’s probably gunna be an android right?
WinXP and 7, legends.
Win 10 also not going away any time soon from the look of it.
my respect though to those who kept vista up there till 2015

So nice to see that channel back and very active. It's interesting to see these graph. 👍
I was surprised how long Windows 95 stayed relevant as extended support ended in December 2001
Still runs on many industrial machines that run offline
@@LordAlacornI personally have never seen any computers that still run it. The oldest I’ve seen is Windows XP used in the till computers of a nearby shop to my work which uses 11 for the tills
@@filledwithvariousknowledge2747 A lot of analytical lab equipment will have Win95 and even DOS PCs connected to them. The equipment is usually insanely expensive and still fully functional, even if no new versions of the software to operate them have been released in decades. So they just keep ancient computers around with the single purpose of being a terminal for those machines.
2002/2003 I was working for a university that still had 95 on thousands of desktops.... It was bad
Ahhh I still remember many of the Windows XP wallpapers. They became different eras of my childhood. Vortec space was my fav 💙 so many memories!!
XP with 81%? That is wild!
Absolutely deserved.
Unh huh people used it until they couldn't.
@@Faith-lj4ex i used it until 2017
Reminds me of a book about coding in Java that I own called "Java Software Solutions: Foundations of Program Design", the book is from 1998 and it's so old that there's a part in the book where it says "Examples of popular operating systems include Windows 95 and Unix"
Nice! Would love to read this.
The channel recently updated their Most Popular Programming Languages video. Java is still quite high in the ranks.
After support for Win 10 ends, I'm moving on to Linux. Fortunately, it has matured more than enough. Plenty of great options now.
i would use linux for many many years, but from 2020 i use macos, because it has not a problem with drm rights in general!!!
There probably will be a Windows 12 done if 11 fails to catch on in the next 2 years
I'd move to linux if I could play the same games I have for windows and if linux wasn't just for programmers. To make even the best linux distro working 100% you have to spend A LOT OF TIME searching or you need to have knowledge. Linux isn't matured enough and probably never will. There's no will to do that.
After support for Win 10 ends I'm going to keep using Win 10. You do realize that's just marketing campaign, don't you? My pc isn't updated for 3/4 years because of lack of compability to newer versions of Windows 10 and I'm fine, better than fine. Updates are incredibly annoying.
The same say in windows vista era and they comeback to use windows again lol
Window's 11 better then Windows 10 in so many ways
It's sad to see mobile OS overtake the share. Fewer people exploit the power of desktop OS.
In the end it's more than 50% just mobile OS according to this there are few people with desktops or notebooks except for their job.
@@Max_Meier I know, I see it all around me and it feel so weird to me. There are young people who can't do the basic stuff with a computer like creating a folder let alone use a computer to their advantage in a myriad of tasks. It seems like quite a few people think a computer is good only for gaming or office use.
It's overtaking the share because pretty much everyone is expected to have a phone. However that doesn't mean there are less people using desktop PCs compared to, let's say, the XP days
@@numeritos1799 yep, but some people think percentages are absolute numbers...
I also quit using my laptop once I got my iPad
The evolution of Windows is just gradually reducing the shading and color in their logo
There's something sad about Linux, while being one of the most influential and useful OS's of all time (cause of servers, Android, github to some extent) never breaking 5% marketshare.
To complicated for casual use tbh. Unfortunately. I use it myself, I love linux/unix systems, especially at work. But there would be no way friends or family could do anything with it. 😕
@@L00pTroop Yeah I wanted to try it once. Couldn’t hold the grip. For a casual user like me, windows with few clicks works best
A lot of embedded systems are using Linux too. It's difficult to define a market share. I think it is very sad that Desktop users are still use the Windows crap and pay Microsoft a lot of money for nothing.
It's a shame how Linux desktop is now at around 1.5% when it has never been better, while it was around 3.5 to 4% 10 years ago. Assuming this charts tracks only consumer facing operating systems, because counting servers would put Linux much higher in the running and Windows Server versions would need to make an appearance as well.
@@L00pTroop Oh come on, who can't use Ubuntu nowadays?
I started on Windows 3.11 over MS-DOS, Windows 95 was a paradigm shift, Window 98 was where I had the most fun with games mainly because it was where I got my first graphics accelerator card, a Voodoo 3 PC 16MB, the 3dFX Glide API elevated the games to another dimension. I've been using Linux since 2001 in dual boot, but of all the systems, the one I missed the most was without a doubt OS/2, mainly from eComStation. The most stable system I've ever known.
I wonder how it would unfold if IBM won with OS/2 over Microsoft in early 90s.
@@DataIsBeautifulOfficial For years, OS/2 was preferred as a server, a function that Linux took on masterfully, as a desktop unfortunately it never came close to Windows and was quickly overtaken by other systems. OS/2 still exists, today it is called ArcaOS, it has not been owned by IBM for decades.
That’s interesting.
@@DataIsBeautifulOfficial why didn't you start earlier than 99? no data?
Windows 3.11 was no OS, only a GUI. Strictly speaking, Win 95, 98 and ME weren't OSs either, they were GUIs of MS-DOS 7.
Don't you love how these operating systems stats never include GNU/Linux on servers, but include mobile phone operating systems?
Yeah linux at 1.328% is most likely incorrect, frankly all of these data is probably off except mobile os because you can get OS cloned and never be on the source
@@kopazwashere You think it's higher? I did IT in school and i literally only know 1 person who uses linux, and he still uses windows too. So i think these stats might be pretty close to reality
@@jentele1 You went to a shitty IT school then (just kiddin). In TOP technical universities, Linux rules uncontested ^^
@@kopazwashere No one uses Linux full time.
@@PhyuckYew lots of developers do, and since Proton API is a thing, unless you're using the Adobe suite, you can daily drive Linux without issues while being faster and safer than windows. Also, he was talking about servers, which are 90% Linux.
Win 11 at 5% brings a smile to my face. They took so many steps backward with that OS

Win 11 is still better

In 2004(?) I worked at a shop that had an old P2 with NT4, used only for Excell and Word. The owner wanted to keep it that way but I upgraded it one night to Win 2k. After few weeks he noted the difference...and I was fired.
I did the same for a old lady, upgrading from Win3.1 to Win95 when her 386 died an I put a P1 mobo instead. I used Program Manager instead the default explorer as UI so she never noted.

Windows 7 is the best Windows I have ever used. It was futuristic and didn't compromise its user interface.
Will be interesting to see whether the Steam Deck will have a significant impact on Linux marketshare in the future. Maybe other manufacturers will also try Linux as default OS?
Well technically Android and Chrome os are also Linux but they are often in their own gategories because of they are so different from other Linux distros.
Or data from other systems are not included in the statistics.
@@MarkusPaasio they aren't GNU/Linux, bc they're Chrome/Linux
I don't think so, since it's available only in a few countries. Maybe if someday they go worldwide
@@MarkusPaasioI think it does not happens. Because steam deck is for high end.
I thing Linux on desktop only win grow again if a big coorp create a distro like Ubuntu was in 2000.
Thank you for complying my request :)
Edit: I appreciate you for inserting my favourite music for this video!
Thanks for the idea!
Interesting to see how Linux and MacOS as desktop OS's never take off but never go away. That's good consistency actually.
September 2003 - July 2011
What a run
Guys, THIS is the year of Linux Desktop!
I know it's an old discution but, I was one of the few who loved Windows Vista. It was beautiful and pretty stable for me. I never understood all the hate towards it. When I upgraded to 7, I didn't notice any huge improvement. I got the feeling it was just a tweaked Vista.
Because W7 actually was a tweaked version of Vista. Plus, a release made a couple of years later means newer hardware is on the market and PCs with better specs can run the OS more smoothly.
Vista was a bit ahead of the time. It was too complicated for hardware of the time, and Windows 7 not only was tweaked, but also optimised version of Vista and ran on the newer machines.
I play a game, Birth of the Federation that was full of bugs. Under XP when it crashed it would often lock up XP as well. After installing Vista, the games crashes continued, but Vista didn't get locked up as well. Big improvement for me.
When Vista was released it was full of bugs and was probably the buggiest version of Windows ever released. Also, computers of the time did not have enough memory as Vista needed at least 2GB to operate smoothly but most computers of the time had only 512MB Also the drivers that worked with XP needed to be changed and weren't always available. Vista had several design shortcomings fixed in Windows 7 such as most operations requiring permission which got very annoying and the memory management of the video RAM.
missed these videos ahah love the dramatic music so much
I really missed your videos :') thank you so much for coming back!!!
More to come!
Watching this I'm sure if MS never released Vista, XP would've hit %90.
This has got to be on of my favorite videos. btw i personally loved Windows 7. It was so classic. Love your videos, Data Is Beautiful!!!
Thanks!
Windows XP and paint was my childhood xD
A hobby OS version would be interesting to see. Linux, BSD, and independently coded OSes.
TempleOS!
linux isn't a hobby OS. It's mostly server-side stuff, but it can be used as a daily driver too.
My boy Haiku OS needs some representation!
@@RiedlerMusics It was hobby OS by Linus Torvalds, when he creates it, version 0.1. But then - yes, of course, it has evolved into something much much bigger than hobby OS
Plan 9, KolibriOS, MenuetOS, Inferno, AROS
I'm pretty sure Linux outdoes all of these. Considering android is Linux based and majority of servers run on Linux.
Chome OS also
but they are not compatible
data is based on sales
Love those videos, and this song. Thanks
Looking at the data sources and that it is adjusted by user-agents, a more correct title would be "Most Popular Consumer/End User Operating Systems 1999 - 2022" because OS used on servers are more or less ignored because a server normally don't make outbound browser connections and therefor has no user-agent to measure.
This explains why Linux, even as it is the most used server OS, never makes it over 5%.
You should probably have an extra category called Windows that shows all Windows PC users as one block.
I was thinking this too. There could be thinner lines in that block showing the percentage share of each version.
Indeed, that would make sense
Interesting to see how popular Win XP was - and whilst it was at a time when there weren't very many alternatives, it was really only killed when MS stopped supporting it in favour of Win 7/8.
IIRC, MS even extended the period of service time for XP by an extra five years, because it was so popular and they didn't get a better decent version out in time...
Of course, what I would like to see is OS data for pre-1999, because there were a lot fewer devices, and a lot had proprietary OS built in...
I mean, that was a time when you had to state whether software for PC was IBM-compatible... before the standardisation of Windows 95...
XP is still the best OS; I had so many fond memories of XP, as well 98 on my first computer. Time flies too fast :(
Excellent work 🎉
HE IS BACK OMG
Wow, Win 11 does have some growth, MS learned something but the TPM requirement and many users are very reluctant to upgrade. I was about to but reinstalling old softwares is not easy to do so.
Well said! Also many users just can't upgrade to 11 due to processors restriction.
@@DataIsBeautifulOfficial , especially older ones including their mobos & RAMs. DDR3 era is dead once Win11 is out.
@@DataIsBeautifulOfficialThe spec requirements are insane even for computers now in 2022 when we are supposed have all the latest and greatest with how much tech has advanced . It makes the spec requirements jump from XP to Vista seem small
@@filledwithvariousknowledge2747 Not necessarily. You need 4 GB ddr4 ram, 64 bit processor, 720p display and 64 bit supported hardware. All of these are given in 2022. Only caveat is TPM 2.0 which should be available on a motherboard from 2015 (intel z100 series or Amd equivalent) and later no
@@nazmulfahad3044 yea but ppl are poor nowadays due to the state of the economy, I feel like that Windows 11 being released as a high end computer was just the worst possible timing and they should've released something less requiring especially with how poor people are nowadays

THE LEGEND CAME BACK
My OS Bio for PCs, starting 89:
MS DOS > Win 3.11 > Win 95 > Win 98 > Win 2000 > Win 98 SE > Win XP > Win Vista > Win XP > Win 7 > Win 8.1 > Win 7 > Win 10.

Nope.

Windows XP and Windows 7 were the best Windows we ever had. Too bad we will never get an OS like these ever again.
And what made them so special? Maybe it's because you were younger and everything was better. Personally, I don't see any things that are better than the versions now.

Windows XP is a legend. I still have a notebook with Windows XP and I enjoy using it.
windows 98 was a solid OS, surprised it did not do as well as i was expecting
Part of tte problem was because of the law suit related to the Java Virtual Machine where as compensation Microsoft had to end new sales after 58 million units and then for Windows XP a semi service pack after the regular 1st to then remove it in order to allow XP to remain on sale
@@filledwithvariousknowledge2747 they kept selling it after
@@casparhughey5651 Not for much longer
Love how windows 7 is still in the 6th after all these years
Microsoft recently added Secure Boot as a final thing after the Pro and Enterprise end of ESU in January to make it more secure. It’s definitely lasted longer than XP post end of full support considering it peaked in usage lower
Very cool 😎
Windows is the most popular desktop OS because they monopolized the computer operating system space and made deals with virtually every computer manufacturer for their products to come factory installed. If more people were even half aware of Windows alternatives it’s market share would be much more balanced.
Linux > All other OSs
This comes from someone who only uses windows and helps the family with the Family Mac computer. Also, I'm in the IT career field so I use Linux a lot.
I’m surprised by the difference between MacOS and Windows. I thought it was WAY closer.
good video!
Windows is so popular that it's various versions are broken into different charts. If we are gonna mix mobile and desktop OSes, then I think atleast we to separate out the major releases. But I understand that getting that data is hard.
I was surprised there wasn't more of a spike in ChromeOS from 2020 onwards.
There actually was a spike but it's neglected by a sharp rise of smartphones sales.
Chrome Os is not mature yet, it needs more resources than more flexible Linux distro but i think it has margins of improvements
winxp will be always the top1 in our hearts
It’s definitely the closest to MacOS of all the MS OSes. Which is why it was great
Interesting!! How come I don't see any questions on the song that is used! I love the space ARP's that are used. What's the name of the song?
Part of the issue on getting accurate Linux server and workstation data is that servers and workstations shipped for Linux use is often shipped simply with no OS preinstalled, because Linux platforms are typically customized by IT staff per user, or by the user themselves.
But here we are talking about the PC and mobile market. Not servers and your car GPS
I remember having some of my best experiences on a system build using XP Pro, that machine seemed very stable and responsive on XP.
XP was epic!
Its wierd that most os such as android and linux has been through a lot of versions but windows keep making those versions separate
Exactly. For android it would make sense to have different versions but for linux not so much. There are constant kernel updates so you cannot define a new version.
Windows changes a lot between versions, in Android and Linux, changes are much smaller.
You could devide Linux into distributions, but I think then it could disappear from the graph completely.
Microsoft charges for Windows version upgrades. That's how they make their money. So they artificially partition the new features and updates to create a "new version" to sell.
Version upgrades for Android, iOS, Linux are free and continuous (though long-term support may be spotty). MacOS charges a nominal fee, so most owners just upgrade based if their hardware is still supported.
Its just so funny and wierd you dont see android 1 and android 2 and so on but you see windows 7 then 8 as separate. That's all am saying
Here it comes!!

Personally, my fondest memories are from Windows 98. However, Windows XP is the G.O.A.T.
Windows 98 was pretty good, but you had to re-install it every other month because it got so extremely laggy
My favourite versions of Windows are 3.11, 2000 and 7.
0:22 I love how windows xp didn't show up until October 2001 because that's the month when it got released worldwide
Impressive how proprietary operating systems like MacOS and iOS command such large shares (by proprietary I mean they operate on only a single hardware platform offered by a single company).
My favorite version of Windows was Win2000. It's interesting to see how short-lived it was. Microsoft quickly transitioned to WinXP because they wanted to push their activation model (Windows 2000 is basically the same as WinXP but without the goofy interface and it didn't require activation).
GNU/Linux operative system most popular in servers, mobiles & Supercomputers.
Technically speaking Android is a Linux OS but I understand why you separated the two.
Great video! How come you decided not to include Windows 8.1? Or did you include that in Windows 8? :)
It's within Win 8

It’s impressive how mobile operating systems come out of nowhere starting in 2007!
The next big thing will be Implanted OS where the chip is implanted in you and you can access the data by simply giving it commands with your mind
"Numbers are showing market share by specific OS, measured by amount of units shipped worldwide". Yes, that explains why there are almost no servers mentioned (they would bring up the Linux share to roughly 90%) and Windows 11 despite being still some sort of beta has such a high share. Almost every Win 11 shipped machine in companys gets downgraded to Win10 for reliability or Upgraded to Linux to work productive. And mobile devices are mixed with normal devices, I think it would make sense to divide mobile and productive devices apart. Shooting portrait films with mobile Devices for Ticktock and doing productive work with normal landscape Monitors are to very different usecases.
If Adobe would make their software available for Linux, Apple devices would suffer and get around 3% market share since Apple really tries to get rid of their loyal customers, the only reason to stick to Apple is Adobe.
Windows 11 shoved many people to Linux Mint, in combination with e.g. Softmaker Office (only paid once) and Nextcloud this is an alternative since more than 4 years which actually works.
If it was by the amout of units shipped, then wouldn't FreeDOS still be top? Many people, especially the new generation, don't pay extra for a preinstalled OS 😂
according to this chart, linux is on a decline. you talk about how mobile devices should be seperated but want servers to enter the chart lol. also i am not sure if there are that many servers in the world compared to enduser devices that linux would make it to 90%. on top of that and as you most likely know yourself, there is no single linux OS, its just a ton of different distributions. imagine if they packed all versions of windows into one category and called it "windows". but maybe to help linux out a little, technically android runs the linux kernel too so at the end of the day it still dominates :D
0:22 your childhood has joined the game
Are server installations included? Why is Win split into its versions but others not?
Id love to give a kiss to Win7
I don't think you can compare OSs for tablets and phones to those for desktops and servers. I think there should be a separate video for OSs for tablets and phones
Probably I will do separate videos as well.
Agreed. I love these videos, but this one seems off to me as including mobile devices skews the results to be pretty much meaningless. I don't recall getting a choice of which OS to install on my smartphone, for instance, but I can pick from any of the rest of the OSs on this list for my laptop or desktop.
To show practical computer OS usage preferences over time, I think mobile devices have to be excluded.
You can. Smartphones are basically computers with just weaker hardware than most desktops. The kernel does the same job on your smartphone that it does on a desktop.
I love windows xp.
But I remember windows 10 so well.
im the only one that still use Windows 7 in 2023 ? great video btw

What is the program you use to build such presentation?

Still can’t believe Windows Vista and Windows 8 reached to 17%. They are terrible. And welcome back!!! We missed u❤❤
Vista was refined as 7 and 8 was a joke so I downgraded back within a day
Nice, Win 11 is only 5% huh
Anyway here's a suggestion, you could've reduced the size of logos since they were clipping which doesn't look good
Funny how Windows 7 was the last version of Windows to even get past 50% at it's peak before Android fully kicked off
There is a disproportion in this graphic. For example, Android or Mac OS are listed as one OS across all versions versus Windows, which is listed with each version separately.
This is just a statistic of desktop distributions. However, Linux OS is on all kinds of devices like routers, modems, NAS... and desktop distributions are only a small part. If all devices were counted completely, I think Linux OS would be the most used OS, ignoring the fact that Android is based on the Linux OS kernel... (I say this as a Windows OS user.)
True
And it's not, most embedded systems use OSEK or some form of RTOS, if they aren't completely bare metal.
I don’t think phone operating systems should have been included as they don’t compete on the same market
So few appreciated the beautiful Win NT! (Btw, I still use Win 7 [offline] and still have a working Vista machine that's never given me a lick of trouble. Knock wood.)
The chart presumes that mobile OSes take away market share from desktop OSes. Many people use both.
You can definitely see windows cycle of every other OS flopped. Me, Vista (which I'd actually forgotten about), and 8, all of which were superceded by their successor before they beat their precursor. Now we'll see if 11 suffers a similar fate. I won't upgrade until I can turn off frequent programs without leaving a large empty ugly gap for it in my start menu.
Windows 11 is better then Windows 10 in a lot aspect
@@BeautifulAngelBlossom I can't get past the mandatory space in the start menu reserved for recent programs that is still there as empty wasted space if you turn it off. Has that changed yet? I might upgrade to 11 and get an alternate start menu solution. I looked at how hard it would be to build one, and it didn't look easy. I actually thought 7 had the best start menu, where you could custom pin a couple of programs at the top if you wanted. 10's start menu is ok, but pinned programs insist on doubling the width of your start menu. The default was the huge mess of live tiles that you had to remove one by one with each install also. What would you say is a good improvement in windows 11?
