StatCounter: Windows 10 has started better than Windows 7, and Microsoft Edge is still very far from recognition
The new Windows 10 operating system was released on July 29 of this year, and a month later, statistical Internet agencies, such as StatCounter and NetApplications, published the first results on it. Briefly summarizing the results, it turns out that Windows 10 started slightly better than its successful predecessor, Windows 7, but the new Micrsoft Edge browser is not trusted yet.
According to the graph , which StatCounter cites on the global market of operating systems, the latest Windows 10 reached a popularity level of 5.38%, thus outperforming Windows Vista and Windows 8. It took about three weeks to overcome the Windows 8 popularity threshold. In Russia, Windows 10 lags slightly behind the global trend - here, its popularity index is about 4%. Over the same period - about a month - Windows 7 managed to reach 4.05% of the audience. Probably, the best position of Windows 10 was played by the free upgrade to it from previous versions of Microsoft operating systems.
Microsoft has its own statistics on Windows 10. Redmond claims that a month after the release of the system, it is installed on 75 million computers. If we take as a comparison parameter the number of licenses sold for previous versions of Windows, it turns out that here Windows 10 is among the undoubted leaders. So a month after the release, approximately 40 million licenses for Windows 7 and Windows 8 were sold (each in its own time), 20 million Vista licenses and 17 million XP licenses. Thus, Windows 10 is much better than its predecessors.

With the new Microsoft Edge browser, so far everything is bad: at least it is in the “Others” category on the StatCounter chart , which is dedicated to the global browser market. Experts at StatCounter noted that within Windows 10 itself, Edge reached the peak of its popularity on July 30 (in other words, a day after its release) at 20.1%, and then steadily fell. Now only 14.1% of owners of Windows 10 prefer to use Edge. It seems that users follow the old habit of downloading third-party browsers using the Microsoft browser.
