And where is software development heading?
iOS and Android.
I've run and set up many websites over the past 10 years and what has happened over the past five years (since the introduction of iPhone) is startling.
In 2006, my typical site traffic broke down like this:
Windows OS - 94%
Mac OS - 4%
Linux/Other - 2%
Today, my largest site (around a million hits a month during peak months) breaks down like this:
Windows OS - 60%
iOS - 15%
Mac OS - 13%
Android - 8%
Other (Blackberry, WinPhone, Linux, etc) - 4%
Five years. Five years and Windows has dropped 30% of site traffic. That's not a huge drop... That's a catastrophic drop if you're Microsoft.
And Android is barely getting going (and iOS still has plenty of room to grow). By this time next year, I expect to see a full 30% of my traffic come from Android/iOS.
