As of October 2009, Windows had approximately 91% of the market share of the client operating systems for usage on the Internet. The most recent client version of Windows is Windows 7; the most recent server version is Windows Server 2008 R2; the most recent mobile OS version is Windows Mobile 6.5.The term Windows collectively describes any or all of several generations of Microsoft operating system products.
