Reads in some places as promotional[edit]
The iPadOS and Android tablet section contains info about Androids coverage in a vastly larger number of countries as a bit Android promotional along with spelling mistakes (occational instead of occasional)
The image of the Sierra supercomputer contains a description which reads as politically propagandistic and not neutral. 37.65.47.77 (talk) 18:31, 8 March 2023 (UTC)
- "...a vastly larger number of countries as a bit Android promotional", if you mean the lead couple of paragraphs then I don't understand, as it is from exactly the same country stats as iPadOS, the article is a comparison of the world's most-used operating system when judged by web use.
- "...Sierra supercomputer contains a description which reads as politically propagandistic and not neutral." You are welcome to update the image to the most recent supercomputer with a relevant neutral description. 12think (talk) 09:33, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

In February 2023, Windows holds 57.37% of the desktop OS market in the US, macOS holds 29.62% and Chrome OS holds 7.47% so the numbers in this article are either outdated or completely made up 2600:1702:5342:9600:0:0:0:10 (talk) 18:39, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
- The article is about global marketshare, I have checked and the numbers are correct. 12think (talk) 09:41, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
- You are referring to shipments or usage? Could you please give us that source from February 2023? Svilenov 14:46, 24 July 2023 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Svilenov (talk • contribs)
Windows under 50% of desktop in some countries, even down to cs. 20% – because of Android?![edit]
See: this map. E.g. Guinea, Congo (DRC); and here because of "Chrome for Android" seemingly explaining "Unknown" desktop. comp.arch (talk) 00:49, 3 February 2024 (UTC)
[edit]
The two are only tangentially related. Worldwide device shipments should have its own article, and the section in this article needs to be shortened and have a link to that. Kai Johnstone (talk) 14:01, 8 February 2024 (UTC)
