Contrary to the predictions of some people who see the future in black suits, Windows XP loses market share. Over the past two months, he noted a significant drop in popularity. Interestingly, at the same time greatly strengthened the latest issue ie. Windows 8 and 8.1. Does this mean that users willingly migrate to this model system, eg. Due to reports on the changes included in Windows 10?
Of course, when it comes to share information, much depends on the source, which collects data. In this case we are talking about the rankings presented by NetMarketShare service for the past few months. According to them, even in September, Windows XP resided for 23.87% of computers worldwide. He was the second most popular system right after Windows 7 (a share of 52.71%). The popularity of new releases was much smaller. While Windows 8.1 is 6.67%, it is still at 5.59% of the computers used was Windows 8. This may indicate further problems with the update, the adoption of the new version, which is still mandatory to receive updates.

In October, the situation has changed considerably. The share of Windows XP fell by over 6.5%, which considering the amount of computers in the world, means that we are talking about millions of migration. What decided the person changing the system? A small (0.3%) reported a rise in popularity of Seven, but the system is considered by many as the best published to date by far the window can not be called a replacement. Most have gained … so, release feature tiles. With Windows 8.1 now uses almost 11% of the world’s computers. An outdated version still uses 5.88%, which is even higher value than earlier. Do these results suggest that the new system from Microsoft at last, after two years of release starts to gain in popularity and has become mature enough users to persuade him?
It is difficult to answer this question, but knowing the habits of the problem, which can be very strong, the answer does not seem to be yes. Most likely, many of the users actually decided to migrate, not only because Windows XP from April no longer receives security patches and a solution outdated and dangerous, but because the exchange may require the same hardware. Replacing a newer computer is a good reason to change the system, in the case of the personal market is the most shipped with your hardware (which does not mean of course that’s free). Currently, it is difficult while new computers with Windows 7, not to mention completely on older versions. Microsoft has completed the sale of this version for home users, which is to allow the reproduction of past mistakes: Seven now aspires to be “limiting the corpse,” what will happen in a few years, when its market share may still be very high.
salvation may be Windows 10, but it is not certain that it will happen. As the results of data analysis of feedback from users interested in the trial version most users of Windows 8. Many of them demands that eg. The new edition remove the Start Menu to return to the start screen of tiles, which managed to get used to. If the followers of other, more traditional solutions do not join the test and did not show that demand their return, Microsoft could take the voice of the majority. About everything we see in April, what time we can only observe the changing market. One thing is certain: the migration from Windows XP or a newer windows, or on Linux distributions is indicated. In particular, when the computer working under his control is connected to the Internet.
