Figures from StatCounter show Microsoft's latest operating system, Windows 7, is now on the majority of all PCs, overtaking Windows XP after three years. Windows 7 has taken the majority of the global operating system market for the first time, according to figures from web analytics company StatCounter. Microsoft's latest operating system till the impending arrival of Windows 8, Windows 7 had 50.2 percent of the OS market for the month of June, while Windows XP -- the second most popular OS -- trailed behind at 29.9 percent of the world's PCs, the figures show. Windows 7 was launched close to three years ago in October 2009 but, despite receiving a warmer reception than its predecessor Vista, it's been slow to achieve the level of popularity enjoyed by XP. Many businesses have chosen to cling onto the legacy decade-old operating system due to its stability or for reasons of application stability, or
simply to avoid an upgrade to Vista...We knew it was bound to happen so for more insight on this visit Our Forum. |
