Windows 7 Reaches 10 % Market Share

05 February 2010

w7_logo_It’s official: Microsoft got it right this time. After the mistake that was Vista, Windows 7 was greeted like the second coming, and it many ways it really was better than its predecessor: less annoying, faster, smoother, more compatible with various pieces of hardware and software, and lets not forget about the games compatibility, its surely is something!

Initial sales numbers and market share reports have shown that Windows 7 is on the right track, but today it’s obvious that it will be one of the most successful products in Windows history, as it already caught 10 percent market share approximately three months after it arrived on the market.

Windows Vista currently holds around 20% market share,(i was shocked at this findings as well), while the 9-year-old Windows XP is (still) between 60-70%. This is because with no doubt win XP worked, and it worked well!!

In other news, Internet Explorer 8 recently became the world’s most popular web browser with 25.6%. Love it or hateit, it’s a good thing, as it means that less and less people are using the dreaded IE6. Well, i will stick to chrome for now -thank you very much, although those retards at ISS wont install it on the university computers, but there is a walk around to that, more on this later.
