The Next Web reports Windows 8 saw its marketshare rise to 4.27 percent last month, versus 3.84 percent the month before. Windows 7 is still the most used operating system, it gained 0.13 percent last month to 44.85 percent.
As we move closer to the middle of 2013, Windows 8 is still growing its share steadily but slowly, as Windows XP and Vista decline. Last month, Windows 7 managed to regain some share, showing that despite its recent declines, it’s still going to be used for quite some time.

The latest market share data from Net Applications shows that May 2013 was a decent one for Windows 8, which gained 0.43 percentage points (from 3.84 percent to 4.27 percent) while Windows 7 grabbed 0.13 percentage points (from 44.72 percent to 44.85 percent).
