Most Popular Computer Operating Systems 1985 - 2024



Fascinating. Note especially how NT initially gained, then fell way down the list once Windows 98 and Windows XP came out.

  • Windows XP SP 3 is good for me. I still use it every day, albeit in a VM.
  • XP is literally NT 5.1. So XP would have been a direct replacement for NT 4 systems.

    No doubt some NT 4 systems were replaced by 98 if people needed DirectX or gaming related stuff that NT 4 wasn't getting.

    Windows ME didn't make the list at all?

    Here's a list that includes Me. But look how quickly it fell off the list and how Windows 2000 dominated until XP overwhelmed everything.
