Things have been going pretty well for Microsoft lately.



Just this week, the company unveiled its first laptop to very positive reception and Windows 10, the successor to the widely unpopular Windows 8, continues to do very well. According to data published by NetMarketShare, Windows 10, released on July 29th, has seen faster adoption post-launch than its predecessors including the immensely successful Windows 7. In September, Windows 10 was installed on 6.6 percent of all PCs, which put it ahead of the most recent version of Apple's OS X at that time (Yosemite).

This chart illustrates the adoption of Windows 7, 8 and 10 in the first months after their respective releases.
