Different categories of computers use a wide variety of operating systems, and the usage share varies enormously from one category to another.In some categories a single family of operating systems is dominant. For example, most desktops use Microsoft Windows and most supercomputers use Linux. In other categories, such as smartphones and servers, there is greater diversity and competition.
Information about operating system share is difficult to obtain. In most of the categories below, there is no reliable primary source or methodology for its collection.Different categories of computers use a wide variety of operating systems, and the usage share varies enormously from one category to another.In some categories a single family of operating systems is dominant.

Information about operating system share is difficult to obtain. In most of the categories below, there is no reliable primary source or methodology for its collection.The following information on web clients is obtained from the User agent information supplied to web servers by web browsers. This is an inexact science for a variety of reasons. For a discussion on the shortcomings see Usage share of web browsers.The most recent data from various sources published during the last six months is summarized in the table below. (All of these sources monitor a substantial number of web sites. Statistics that relate to a single web site are excluded.The 'Other' column is obtained by summing Windows 'all versions' through BlackBerry OS and subtracting from 100%.
AT Internet measures 23 European countries.
Clicky Web Analytics does not publish desktop/mobile split so mean of Net Market Share and StatCounter figures (5.27% mobile) used in lieu. Figures are averages over last 7 days of month.
StatOwl measures predominantly US web sites with "broad appeal".Figure for XP includes Server 2003. Excludes mobile usage.
W3Counter shows only the top ten operating systems and is based on the last 15,000 page views to each of over 47,000 web sites tracked.
Webmasterpro samples over 100,000 predominantly German-language sites. Figures are averages over last 7 days of month.
Wikimedia uses 1:1000 sampling of its logs when deriving the usage numbers. Figure for Vista includes Server 2008; XP includes Server 2003.
iOS figures include iPhone, iPod and iPad.
Mac OS X is broken down by four of the sources listed above and all of them show that version 10.6 (Snow Leopard) is the most widely used.
Clicky Web Analytics, StatOwl and Wikimedia indicate that Ubuntu has an order of magnitude more usage than any other identified desktop Linux distribution.
The netbook market has been dominated by Microsoft Windows, with Linux in second place.
Initially, Linux dominated the netbook market when Asus started it with the Eee PC in October 2007, but this lead did not last long. Asus and Acer, which accounted for 90% of the early netbook market, installed Linux on 30% of their machines.
Microsoft responded by extending the life of Windows XP. By February 2009, Microsoft cited data from NPD Retail Tracking Service which showed that US market share of Windows on netbooks went from under 10% to 96%.In November 2009, an analyst at ABI said that of the 35 million netbooks to ship globally in 2009, 68% would have Windows and 32% Linux.According to Display Search, netbooks and tablets rose from just under a 14% share of the overall portable computer market in third quarter of 2008 to around 20% in the second quarter of 2009, and remained at around 20% until the middle of 2010. During 2010, Apple's iPad tablet computer gained a 6.5% share of this market sector in the first quarter and DisplaySearch forecast this will rise to 30% in the second.Mobile operating system that can be found on smartphones include Symbian OS, iOS, RIM's BlackBerry, Windows Mobile (marketed as Windows Phone), Linux, webOS and Android. Android and webOS are in turn built on top of Linux, and the iOS is derived from the BSD and NeXTSTEP operating systems, which all are related to Unix.
