Windows 7 ή Windows 10; Τα Windows 10 τρέχουν σήμερα σε περισσότερους από 20 τοις εκατό των επιτραπέζιων υπολογιστών στον κόσμο, και η μεγαλύτερη πρόκληση της Microsoft seems to be yet to convince those using Windows 7 to upgrade.
Some time after the release of Windows 10, Windows 7 is still the desktop operating system that uses 50% of world market share according to third party data.
Windows 7 support ends in 3 years, but Microsoft knows very well that it could experience what is still experiencing Windows XP, since there are still users who have them installed on their computers and do not upgrade despite the obvious dangers for the safety.
So the following news should not be a big surprise:
Microsoft has already begun the attack against Windows 7, since in a blog post published in German version of the company page notes the differences of this old operating system compared to Windows 10.
In a nutshell, Microsoft says Windows 7 does not have the security features needed to deal with today's threats, while at the same time adds that Windows 10 has everything it takes to keep its customers secure.
"Windows 7 is based on an outdated security architecture," says Microsoft.
"Companies and users who do not upgrade from Windows 7 within the next three years face huge risks."
Microsoft immediately praises its house (don't fall for it) and mentions that Windows 10 has security improvements as part of the operating system. He also emphasizes that the news hardware είναι ειδικά σχεδιασμένα για να λειτουργούν σε αυτήν την έκδοση. Συνεχίζοντας η εταιρεία απαριθμεί τα νέα χαρακτηριστικά των Windows 10, αναφέροντας το Windows Ink, Edge browser, και την ψηφιακή βοηθό Cortana.
No doubt, it will be difficult for Microsoft to convince Windows 7 users to upgrade to Windows 10, especially when you consider that most of them preferred to stay with this version by underestimating a free offer upgrades.
On the other hand, following the known aggressive moves of the company, the above news is another beginning of Microsoft's efforts to move users from Window 7. Let's say the company has already announced it will collects less telemetry data from Windows 10.
We expect these efforts to become more "apparent" in the coming months.
