The Windows 7 continue to be the most widely used operating system worldwide, and according to some new data provided by Net Applications, its market share is rising constantly as more and more users place it in their place Windows XP.
Η Microsoft will officially stop supporting Windows XP on April 8, and so more and more users are starting to switch their systems to that platform rather than Windows 8.1.
Windows 7 seems to be the great winner of this Microsoft decision, after the March figures of 2014 show that it is now in the 48.77% of desktop systems around the world, from 47,31% that was the previous month.
Of course, it's no surprise that Windows 7 is the winner of the Windows XP retirement decision because Windows 8 and 8.1 are rather disappointed with Microsoft's customers.
However, Microsoft hopes to get more users for Windows 8.1 and presents its operating system as the primary destination of Windows XP system owners, emphasizing the security and performance of the new operating system.
