Android has surpassed Windows as the world’s most popular operating system for internet usage for the first time, according to new statistics.
Google’s mobile OS topped the worldwide OS internet usage market share in March with 37.93%, reports web analytics company StatCounter, which included data across the desktop, laptop, tablet and mobile.
Windows-running devices, meanwhile, accounted for 37.91% of internet usage last month, putting it marginally behind Android.
It’s a hugely significant milestone, which shows just how dramatically usage habits have shifted since the emergence of the smartphone.
According to StatCounter, Windows’ global internet usage share was 82% in January 2012, compared to 2.2% for Android.
“This is a milestone in technology history and the end of an era,” said Aodhan Cullen, the CEO of StatCounter.
