I would think the real growing user base are mobile/phone users (aka Google/Android and Apple/IOS). Windows is dropping because for many people a computer is overkill and all they need is their phone... and Microsoft failed to enter that market.

What I would consider good news is if we were to notice a third mobile OS to get a significant share of users.

This graph is about desktop OSs only. So Windows is dropping in proportion to other desktop systems.

So then what desktop is iOS on?

Based on the original discussion, it was probably on some novelty device that was close to desktop but died soon after. I personally am not familiar with Apple environment, so I really don't know better.

Oh you know what, I bet it's the iPad. But I think that's still before the apple "what's a computer" ad
