Reads in some places as promotional
editThe iPadOS and Android tablet section contains info about Androids coverage in a vastly larger number of countries as a bit Android promotional along with spelling mistakes (occational instead of occasional)
The image of the Sierra supercomputer contains a description which reads as politically propagandistic and not neutral. 37.65.47.77 (talk) 18:31, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
- "...a vastly larger number of countries as a bit Android promotional", if you mean the lead couple of paragraphs then I don't understand, as it is from exactly the same country stats as iPadOS, the article is a comparison of the world's most-used operating system when judged by web use.
- "...Sierra supercomputer contains a description which reads as politically propagandistic and not neutral." You are welcome to update the image to the most recent supercomputer with a relevant neutral description. 12think (talk) 09:33, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
Desktop OS marketshare numbers are WAY off
editIn February 2023, Windows holds 57.37% of the desktop OS market in the US, macOS holds 29.62% and Chrome OS holds 7.47% so the numbers in this article are either outdated or completely made up 2600:1702:5342:9600:0:0:0:10 (talk) 18:39, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
- The article is about global marketshare, I have checked and the numbers are correct. 12think (talk) 09:41, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
Windows under 50% of desktop in some countries, even down to cs. 20% – because of Android?!
editSee: this map. E.g. Guinea, Congo (DRC); and here because of "Chrome for Android" seemingly explaining "Unknown" desktop. comp.arch (talk) 00:49, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
What does Worldwide device shipments have to do with Usage share of operating systems?
editThe two are only tangentially related. Worldwide device shipments should have its own article, and the section in this article needs to be shortened and have a link to that. Kai Johnstone (talk) 14:01, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
