Two years after WIndows 7 was released, Microsoft boasted it had sold nearly 450 million copies of the software. That works out to 616,000 copies a day. Android announced in December that daily activations had exceeded 700,000. In Apple's latest financials, they reported selling 57.6 million combined iPhones, iPads and Macs (iPods excluded because I'm too lazy to track down how many are Touch models. It's more than enough to make up for the Macs, I know that). That works out to 636,000 devices per day. Welcome to the post-PC era. Android and iOS are already bigger than Windows and still growing rapidly. Windows isn't even growing at all. This is why Microsoft is so desperately trying to transform their desktop OS into a tablet OS. |
I could argue your math or the fact you are only looking at this moment right now, after Windows 7 has been on the market for almost 3 years and is in its decline. Or I could just post an article explaining my point...http://gizmodo.com/5878036/microsoft-sells-more-windows-7-than-every-mac-ios-and-android-device-combined
I am fully aware of the post PC era and the cash grab behind it btw. I spent most of this week working on monetizing video ads on an iOS app. And guess which OS I had to use to do this...
