Microsoft recently launched the official version of the latest computer system management software – Windows 10. To mark the occasion Gemius decided to look at the most popular operating systems in twelve selected countries: Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine, Russia, Slovenia and Croatia. The analysed data comes from July 2015 and applies to domestic website views made from the territory of the studied country.

Windows 7 in leading position

Not only Microsoft systems, but also Linux and Apple

The data also shows the popularity of Android, which is among the most frequently used in most of the analysed countries, only not making the top 3 in Russia and Ukraine. Meanwhile, the largest number of views of domestic websites made using Android come from Croatia (34.4 per cent), Lithuania (22.6 per cent) and Slovakia (22.5 per cent).

Among the other leading operating systems are Windows 8.1 (in nine of the analysed countries), Windows XP (in four of the analysed countries) and iOS (in Croatia).
