OpenAI's windsurf deal is off, and CEO Sam Altman is joining Google. Microsoft is the world's leader in operating systems and software, with a focus on servers, productivity, gaming hardware, and services. Net sales break down into four main activities: operating systems and tools, cloud-based software applications, video gaming, and enterprise services. The US accounts for 50.9% of net sales.
As of July 2025, data from StatCounter reveals that Windows 11 has surpassed Windows 10 as the most dominant operating system, capturing 51.77% of all Windows PCs [1]. This milestone marks a significant shift in Microsoft's operating system landscape, following a series of strategic moves and market factors.Released in October 2021, Windows 11 initially struggled to gain traction, with less than 10% of installations by the end of its first year. However, by late 2024, its market share had climbed to 36%. The recent surge is attributed to several key factors. Firstly, Microsoft has begun highlighting the approaching end of support for standard editions of Windows 10 on October 14, 2025, prompting users to upgrade. Secondly, many organizations and individual users have upgraded their hardware to benefit from the latest security improvements and software enhancements. Additionally, features such as performance optimizations, tighter security defaults, and built-in support for AI-driven tools have made Windows 11 more attractive to both enterprises and gamers.
According to StatCounter, more than 700 million devices now run Windows 11. Although StatCounter's figures may differ from those of other analytics services, they provide a reliable snapshot of broader trends. As Windows 10 approaches its end of mainstream support in October 2025, the coming months will reveal whether these incentives and new hardware offerings will sustain Windows 11's upward trajectory or prompt users to seek extended support.
