Windows lose ground in global market

Key takeaways:

Windows active devices dropped from 1.4 billion in 2022 to just over 1 billion in 2025, signaling a major decline in user base.
Analysts suggest the drop may be due to the rise of mobile platforms like Android and iOS, especially in emerging markets.
Slowing PC sales and a shift toward mobile-first usage are also seen as contributing factors to the decline.
User frustration over Microsoft's aggressive push to upgrade from Windows 10 to 11 may have caused some to abandon the platform.
Despite the drop, Windows remains widely used, and Microsoft is focusing on cloud services like Azure and Microsoft 365 to stay competitive.
