An anonymous reader quotes a report from BleepingComputer:

_The data analysts firm NetMarketShare [revealed](https://www.netmarketshare.com/operating-system-market-share.aspx) that Windows 10 has seen another uptake in users and it went up to 64.04% from 61.26% last month. Linux (multiple distros) went from 1.14% to 1.65% and Ubuntu now holds a market share of 0.51%. The market share of Windows 7 has also dropped, but many users are still actively using outdated Windows 7, which could be due to its huge number of enterprise users. According to NetMarketShare, Windows 7 saw a drop from 22.77% to 20.41% last month. The report shows that [20.41% of desktops still use Windows 7](https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/windows-7-wont-die-still-second-most-popular-operating-system/). Even worse, some are still using Windows XP, according to the report. As of October 2020, the market share of Windows XP is 0.87%._
