The gaming business is being dominated by Microsoft's latest operating system, Windows 10. It is currently at the top of both Windows and non-Windows categories as what Steam's data have shown.

Valve has provided the statistics for its gaming platform and it has shown Windows 10 on the leading spot with a share of 49.10%. That is roughly equivalent to one in two computers is running Steam that is powered by Windows 10.

Most importantly, it has improved over the last month by 0.73% and 0.02% for its 64-bit and 32-bit versions respectively. It made Windows as the only operating system that didn't go down in December.
