The other 5% gaming not done on a Windows based rig is being captured by largely by OSX at 3.27% and various distros of Linux combining for 0.82%.
Today’s news is a promising development for the company’s future efforts in consolidating its gaming services, hardware and platforms. With Windows 10 being installed on close to 800 million devices, Microsoft soft is setting itself up to have one of largest install base for a gaming platform in history.
