Both labels belong to Apple’s desktop platform, so the core Windows vs Mac OS statistics comparison sets Windows against **16.78%** for the two combined. The gap narrows in the United States, where Windows held **64.45%** of desktop share in September 2026. It widens among Steam users: on Steam’s monthly hardware survey, Windows accounted for **95.03%** of respondents in September 2026. Revenue moves the other way: Mac net sales rose **28.7%** in Apple’s June 2026 quarter, while Microsoft’s Windows OEM and Devices revenue decreased **7%** in the quarter ended June 30, 2026. ## Key Takeaways - Windows’ yearly desktop share worldwide fell **9.74** percentage points between 2016 and 2025, StatCounter’s yearly series shows. - In the US, OS X and macOS together held **26.51%** of desktop share in September 2026. - Windows 11 accounted for **71.44%** of desktop Windows share worldwide in September 2026, with Windows 10 at **27.83%**. - On the September 2026 Steam survey, OSX accounted for **1.92%** of respondents and Linux for **3.05%**. - Apple’s Mac net sales were **$10,352 million** in its fiscal third quarter, up from **$8,046 million** a year earlier. - Microsoft’s Windows OEM and Devices revenue decreased **7%** in the quarter ended June 30, 2026. - Apple’s fiscal 2025 Mac net sales were **1.95 times** Microsoft’s fiscal 2025 Windows and Devices revenue. ## Editor’s Choice - Mac net sales, fiscal 2025: **$33,708 million**, up **12%** from fiscal 2024. - Windows and Devices revenue, fiscal 2025: **$17,314 million**, against **$17,026 million** in fiscal 2024. - Apple PC shipments, Q2 2026: **6.7 million** units and a **9.9%** share. - Worldwide PC shipments, Q2 2026: **68.2 million** units, down **4.9%** year over year. - Windows desktop share in China, September 2026: **91.65%**. - Desktop share of worldwide page views, September 2026: **39.26%**. ## Windows vs Mac OS Statistics: Worldwide Desktop Market Share - Windows held **76.36%** of desktop share worldwide in September 2026. - Apple’s two labels, OS X and macOS, added up to **16.78%**. - Windows’ share was **4.55 times** Apple’s combined share. - StatCounter bases its figures on a sample exceeding **3 billion** pageviews per month from more than **1 million** websites. - The shares measure web activity, so a desktop that browses more counts for more.

Even so, OSX accounted for just **1.92%** of respondents in September 2026, against **3.05%** for Linux, so the Mac trails even Linux among the Steam users who report. ## PC Shipments: Apple vs Windows PC Makers - Worldwide PC shipments fell **4.9%** year over year in Q2 2026 to **68.2 million** units, the first decline after nine consecutive quarters of growth, according to IDC. - Lenovo shipped **16.6 million** units for a **24.4%** share, while HP Inc shipments fell **9.0%** to **13.0 million**. - Apple shipped **6.7 million** units in Q2 2026, lifting its share to **9.9%** from **8.5%**, with **10.1%** growth. - IDC said “Apple’s share gain coincided with its latest product launch, the MacBook Neo.” - IDC expects pressure to continue, citing “a memory shortage that isn’t expected to ease until early 2028,” and noted that “revenue is climbing because vendors are pushing through price increases faster than demand is dropping.” - Shipment tables count vendors. Apple’s line is the only one that maps onto a single desktop platform.

In September 2026, Windows held **76.36%** of desktop share worldwide against **10.68%** for OS X and **6.1%** for macOS, which puts Windows at **4.55 times** Apple’s combined share. The ratio is tighter in the US, where Windows held **64.45%** against **17.77%** for OS X and **8.74%** for macOS. ## What are the downsides of using macOS? Two measurable limits show up in the data. Few Steam gamers run a Mac: OSX accounted for **1.92%** of Steam survey respondents in September 2026, against **95.03%** for Windows. Recent macOS versions are also hard to measure, because StatCounter cannot correctly show usage for Catalina 10.15, Big Sur 11, Monterey 12, Ventura 13 or Sonoma 14 until Apple fixes its reporting. ## Is Mac market share growing? On sales, yes; on web share, the picture is mixed. Apple’s Q2 2026 shipments grew **10.1%** while the market fell **4.9%**, and Mac net sales rose **28.7%** in the June 2026 quarter. StatCounter’s web data is less clear. OS X and macOS hold **18.13%** of desktop share in the 2026 year to date, **1.89** points below the OS X share in 2023, and monthly readings swing by several points. ## Conclusion Windows still dominates the desktop: **76.36%** of worldwide desktop share in StatCounter’s latest monthly figures, against **16.78%** for Apple’s two labels combined. Revenue points the other way, with Mac net sales of **$10,352 million** in Apple’s June quarter against **$8,046 million** a year earlier while Windows OEM and Devices revenue decreased **7%**. The next readings to watch are IDC’s third-quarter shipment count and how fast the remaining Windows 10 base moves before Microsoft’s consumer ESU window closes.
