WORLD'S BEST OPERATING SYSTEM (OS)

 According to my researches Windows is still No. 1, but as the PC market continues to decline, it only has less than half of the market.Windows is still the most popular end-user operating system, but it's now used by less than half of the visitors to the federal government's websites.Windows has fallen to less than half of web visitors to US(united states) government websites.

The Federal Digital Analytics Program (DAP)reports that while Windows is the most popular end-user operating system, it's dropped below 50 percent to 49.2 percent. This is based on 2.17 billion visits over the past 90 days to more than 400 executive branch government domains across about 5,000 total websites, including every cabinet department.

Looking closer, you can see Window's loss didn't come because users are switching to other desktop operating systems. Mac OS still comes in at No. 2, with 9.2 percent. All other operating systems, with Chrome OS leading the way at 1.1 percent, amount to only 2 percent.

True, other sites show desktop Linux gaining serious market share. Net Market Share reports Linux has held more than two percent of the market since June 2016, while they reports that Linux accounted for 3.80 percent of desktops in December 2016. However, since neither site broke out Chrome OS, I suspect that vast majority of these gains go to Chrome OS credit rather than traditional Linux desktops.

The real reason Windows has sunk below the 50-percent mark is that smartphones and tablets are continuing to grow while the desktop keeps shrinking. The PC still accounts for 59 percent of the total government website visitors, but smartphones -- at 35.1 percent -- keep growing.

So, it shouldn't come as too much of a shock that the No. 2 end-user operating system is Apple iOS, with 22.9 percent. Hefty price-tag and all, we love our now decade-old iPhones.

No. 3 is Android, with 16.8 percent.
