It has been some time since Android It was consolidated as the most widely used mobile operating system in the world, with quite a difference over its rivals.
But the success of Google's operating system has now taken another step, surpassing the number of users even the PC version of Windows. This situation, which would have been unthinkable just a couple of years ago, shows us that those who predicted the death of the computer based on new devices such as and tablets were not wrong at all.
Android is already the most used operating system in the world
Windows falls and Android rises
In recent studies, it has been shown that a 37,93% of users opt for Android, while Windows remains with 37,91%.
Although the difference may seem minimal, the reality is that it is an important figure, since it indicates that the mobile devices they are starting to overtake computers. Something that many predicted and the most skeptical refused to accept.
In addition, the forecasts are that this difference will increase little by little. And it is that the number of users of mobile devices is increasing considerably, while users who use Windows PCs have not stopped falling.
Is the end of the computer near?
Many have interpreted this data as the beginning of the end of the PC era. A somewhat drastic expression, but not so far from reality.
After all, let's keep in mind that most of us today we could not live without our mobile. However, more and more people spend days without turning on the computer and do not miss it. It is true that, especially at a business level, talking about the death of the computer is still very hasty, but the reality is that the market tends more and more to the mobile. And if mobile phones like the Samsung Galaxy S8 appear, which we can use as a computer, since it connects to any screen with its connection base, then it can be the turn off and let's go from the PC.
Apple, the third in contention
iOS, Apple's operating system, is in this classification below both Android and Windows. But it is also a reality that there are more users of its mobile operating system than of OS X for desktop. The victory of mobile over PC also reaches the apple company.
