NetMarketShare reports within the state in the desktop computer itself market on the first day's each month, and has now long shown Windows 10 to generally be lagging behind Windows 7. Which is in stark contrast on the figures from rival analyst firm StatCounter which famously had Windows 10 overtaking its predecessor back in January.

This period NetMarketShare took a few months extra supply its numbers for June, but after an audit, during which the figures changed considerably, they are usually finally available and then make for interesting reading.

In May, Windows 10 grew 0.93 percentage suggests give the new OS 34.74 percent share. Within the same timeframe, Windows 7 lost 1.78 percentage points to put it on 41.79 percent. June's figures show Windows 10's share growing by 0.97 percentage suggests give it 35.71 percent. Windows 7 lost 0.05 percentage suggests put it on 41.74 percent.

That leaves Windows 7 just 6.03 percent previously its replacement.

Pre-audit figures showed Windows 7 growing considerably while Windows 10's share hardly changed. The reversal of fortune canno doubt annoy some, but good the fact that the company took the time to check its numbers because there have been questions raised over NetMarketShare's accuracy some time ago.

Elsewhere, Windows 8.1 lost 0.41 percentage points in June and is particularly now on 4.95 percent. Windows XP, which gained share in May, was the prevailing loser in June, having shed 0.96 percentage points. It has 4.08 percent share.
