The news that Android use has reportedly overtaken Windows use around the world recently emerged. But is it particularly surprising? Not really. Android is far and away the dominant force in mobile, running on everything from super-cheap phones to not-so-cheap tablets and even laptops.
Windows, by contrast, is primarily a desktop OS that hasn't made much of an impact on the global mobile market.
So does it make sense to look at these two platforms in a black-and-white numbers comparison? Anyone with even the slightest knowledge of each platform knows that Android is used primarily on phones, Windows on PCs. Chrome OS is now allowing Android apps on laptops, but unless you're looking at the Lenovo Yoga Book, that's probably not considered "Android usage."
Or maybe it is.
But should you even care? Shouldn't you be more interested in a category-by-category breakdown instead? Or does the situation spell bad news for Microsoft? Let's us know what you think in the Windows Central Forums, where there's already a hot thread dedicate to this very topic.
