Chrome OS in force in 2020
According to data analyzed by IDC
2020, regarding sales of computers, laptops and other workstations,
Chrome OS has (significantly) surpassed macOS in 2020.
Google's
operating system overtook Apple's in the second quarter of 2020, with
10% against 7.6%. A substantially identical trend during the third
quarter, and a Chrome OS which went so far as to display almost double
the market share vis-à-vis macOS during the last quarter of last year
(14.4% against 7 , 7%).
On the side of Microsoft, despite a very clear domination, the Chrome OS
threat is not taken lightly. In the first quarter of 2020, Windows had a
market share of 87.5%, against 76.7% at the end of the year.
A
massive adoption of Chrome OS which would be due to a very strong demand
from the general public for “affordable” computers, and in particular
for education. A market cut out for Chrome OS, with computers obviously
less technically advanced than some Windows and macOS machines, but also
much cheaper.
In this regard, Microsoft continues to refine
Windows 10X, a “light” version of Windows 10, which is intended for
certain laptops and which is described as “Microsoft's Chrome OS”.
