14 DAY TRIAL // Windows 8 is now on the market and Microsoft urges everybody to dump Windows XP in order to make the move to the new OS.
This is pretty much mission impossible, as Windows XP remains one of the most popular choices for all those looking for a Windows operating system.
Worldwide, Windows 7 is the number one OS with a market share of 52.2 percent in September, according to figures released by StatCounter. Windows XP comes second with 27.64 percent, while Vista is way behind with 7.58 percent.
“Our stats confirm the theory that business users in particular have been reluctant to move from XP,” Aodhan Cullen, StatCounter CEO, said.
“The scale of change of the desktop experience, however, may heighten the initial reluctance of traditional business users to upgrade to this new OS.”
