The only chart you'll need to tell whether Windows 10 is a hit or a flop
Windows 10 officially comes out tomorrow, and everyone's curious if it's going to be a hit like Windows 7, or a flop like Windows 8.
On one hand, it fixes a lot of the big missteps of Windows 8, and re-establishes the old-school Windows desktop as the central way to do things, instead of the newfangled (some would say alienating) touch screen interface that Windows 8 introduced. On the other hand, the world is very different now than it was when Windows 7 came out in 2009 — people spend a lot more time on smartphones, and Windows now makes up only about 15% of all devices connected to the Internet (it used to be closer to 100%). Even Microsoft has acknowledged that the world is moving on from Windows everywhere.
Hit or flop: How will we know? The chart below, compiled by Statista, can help. It shows global market share of Microsoft's last two major Windows releases after 12 months.
