On Steam, Windows 10 adoption is already ahead of Windows 8, Vista, XP, Mac, and Linux

Valve today updated its Hardware & Software Survey for August 2015, and the good market share news seen by Microsoft this past month is all the more apparent in the gaming world. Although Windows’ share overall dipped slightly on Steam, Windows 10 adoption has exploded into double digits.

In fact, although it’s only been available for over a month, Windows 10 already has more share on Steam than Windows 8, Windows Vista, and Windows XP. It is also unsurprisingly ahead of Mac OS X and Linux, neither of which gets much attention from gamers. All Windows 10 has left to conquer is Windows 8.1 (which it will easily do by the end of the year) and Windows 7 (will probably take a while longer).
