Even with free upgrades, its adoption Windows 10 από τους χρήστες λειτουργικών της Microsoft, έχει επιβραδυνθεί σημαντικά. Τέσσερις μήνες μετά την κυκλοφορία τους, τα Windows 10 έχουν φτάσει το 9% του μεριδίου της αγοράς, σύμφωνα με τα τελευταία στοιχεία της Net Applications.
Windows 10 had been installed on over 75 million computers in their first four weeks of marketing, and passed 110 millions of installations after 10 weeks.
As we know Microsoft aims to install the new operating system in 1 billion Appliances “σε δύο με τρία χρόνια.” Ο αριθμός δεν συμπεριλαμβάνει μόνο υπολογιστές, αλλά smartphones, κονσόλες, και tablets. Το συγκεκριμένο νούμερο φαντάζει πολύ μεγάλο, αν δεν αλλάξει σύντομα κάτι….
WindUws 10 had captured 7,94% of market share in October, and gained 1,06 percentages reaching 9,00% in November.
However, the adoption of the new operating system seems to have slowed dramatically: Window 10 lost almost 5 percentage points since the first month of their release, earning just over a unit a month since then.
Microsoft hopes to combat this slowdown as it announced a partnership with Baidu to promote Windows 10 in China. Included in Microsoft's plans is the proposal to make Windows 10 a “recommended update version”, which will force Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 users to “democratically” install the new operating system.
Here we should mention that despite the leakage of percentage units with the release of Windows 10, Windows 7 continues and holds and probably will hold the title of the most popular operating system for a long time. Windows 7 surpassed the Windows XP since September 2012 and since then their share has been steadily increasing. Today they still hold 56 percent of the market share.
However, the total number of Windows market shares is impressive, as 91.39% has reached the size of the image.
