Users Finally Excited About Windows 10 As Windows 7 Loses Ground
#1
Stats show adoption of Windows 10 is on the rise

New statistics provided by Net Applications for the month of March 2016 show that Windows 10 adoption is on the rise and the new operating system has managed to achieve another personal best.

But while Windows 10’s growth is clearly good news for Microsoft, there’s another reason for the tech heads in Redmond to celebrate: Windows 7 also keeps losing users, which shows that the new version is slowly becoming successful.

At this point, Windows 7 continues to be the leading choice, as it’s powering 51.89 percent of the desktop computers around the world, but its market share is dropping every month. In the last 30 days, Windows 7 has dropped from 52.34 percent to 51.89 percent, and the same trend is likely to be maintained for the remainder of the year as well. Back in December, Windows 7 was running on 55.66 percent of the PCs out there.

Windows 10 remains the runner-up

Windows 10 is now the second most popular choice among desktop users, so it has a share of 14.15 percent, up from 12.82 percent the month before. Back in December, Windows 10 was spotted running on 9.96 percent of computers.

The other Windows versions on the market continue losing ground, although Windows XP still proves to be a tough nut to crack. XP is now at 10.90 percent, down from 11.24 percent the month before.

Windows 8.1 is also declining, but this isn’t at all a surprise, given the fact that Windows 10 is available as a free upgrade on PCs running this version, so it’s now at 9.55 percent. Mac OS X is still far behind, Net Application claims, with a global market share of 4.05 percent for version 10.11 and 2.06 percent for 10.10.

Linux is even more behind, and it has nearly the same market share as the old Windows Vista: 1.78 percent for the open-source platform and 1.41 percent for Microsoft’s biggest flop ever.

Lmao That is pure propaganda. I know some users that reverted back to W7 as they didn't want to forcibly upgrade. So, this is bullshit.  Big Grin
