Android is king of operating systems, overtakes Windows for first time

Many knew one day this would happen, that Android would be the undisputed king among all operating systems. That has finally happened.

 StatCounter, the well-known company that tracks how people access Internet, reports that Android has overtaken Windows as the world's most popular operating system, in terms of total internet usage across desktop, laptop, tablet and mobile combined.

 In March, Android had 37.93% market share; Windows 37.91%.

 Not quite surprising actually; because the use of mobiles to access internet has been growing at a very rapid pace. Also, the Windows operating system for mobile was way behind Android.

    Agreed. Since I am associated with that industry, I don’t want to say much about smart phones. I can only say that in 10 to 15 years it will have a whole new look and more scientific advances.

      Yes, SG, I too believe that the way technology has been evolving so rapidly, the world itself will be a much different place in 10 to 15 years.
      On another note, I wonder if human attitudes have made changes.
