Windows dips below 50% of web traffic to US govt websites

Wow, these are really good stats. I wish my government had something like this.

Was this created by the United States Digital Service[0]? I've heard great things about them.

Mobile keep growing which is the result of the dip in traffic from windows. As a desktop, windows still strong.

I think Windows has become obsolete. For most people it's now something you choose to install in increasingly annoying update windows vs automatically installed on new PCs that used to sell like hotcakes. Everyone was automatically opted out of Windows 10 as they kept using old computers with no compelling reasons to buy a new PC again (probably 'ever' for most people). Phones usurped a lot of tasks that are more convenient that way and that will only continue.

I think Google will do some damage to Windows next year through Surface clones and Chromebooks. Chrome OS is getting pretty competent with support rolling out for the full Play Store... and through that people have already installed the Windows version of Steam and playable games. The full desktop browser is also very empowering. Overall it's becoming directly equivalent at all the good stuff, it's even Linux under the hood and can co-install full Ubuntu. What it leaves behind allows for mindless security, no upkeep, and performance.

Apple like to think their iPad Pro is the next generation of PCs too -

Unless you can show absolute numbers, you can't call it a "dip".

Like many in various industries there has been a huge push to support mobile, and thus the effect the larger % of the population who use mobiles vs pc's comes into effect

I found it interesting as well that more people seem to be using IE 7 vs 9 or 10.
