Batu69 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Its market share reaches 10 percent for the first time Windows market share in November 2015 Windows 10 has been received with mixed feelings, but despite the criticism that’s more or less well founded, Microsoft’s new operating system continues to grow, and statistics show that it keeps getting more users with every new month. StatCounter data, for example, shows that Windows 10 managed to reach the 10 percent market share for the very first time since launch last month, thus becoming the third most-used desktop operating system in the world. That might not impress many given the fact that it’s still at 10 percent, but this is actually an important achievement given the fact that it’s been around for only four months. Windows 7 still king Windows 10 managed to overtake Windows XP and Mac OS X in these four months, but the biggest challenge is actually to get closer to Windows 7, which continues to be the clear leader in the desktop OS world. In fact, lowering Windows 7’s market share is Microsoft’s number one priority ahead of the 2020 end of support date, as the company wants and needs to avoid a new Windows XP moment when users refuse to upgrade despite the obvious security risks. Windows 7 remains the number one desktop OS with a share of 49.31 percent while Windows 8.1 is the runner-up with 13.05 percent. Windows 10 is third and way behind with 10.17 percent. Again, while these numbers might show that Windows 10 has no chance against Windows 7, this is the first time when the latter actually drops below the 50 percent market share, which is a sign that the arrival of the new OS does have an impact on its market performance. Whether Windows 10 has a chance against Windows 7 is only up to users to decide, but Microsoft’s also playing a key role here. The next updates are critical for the future of Windows 10, so Redmond really needs to play its card right this time. News source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy W Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 To date not "many" problems with Windows 10 but what puzzles me is that after booting and I click to open a program I get a "blueish" screen,my taskbar icons disappear and after a second or two some of them reappear.The "busy" icon keeps spinning for a very long time and I can do nothing unless I reboot.Running Version 10.0.10586 Build 10586 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steven36 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Just wondering who are those people still sticking to Windows 8 and why!I'm staying with windows 8.1 because .1. My pc is under warranty still I don’t want to void it by putting something else on it.2. I had a bad experience with windows 10 before on my other computer.3.Windows 10 spies on you out the box only windows 8.1 spies on you if install the spy updates witch I don’t.4. To me windows 10s best features are there worse ones. Contra , EDGE ,ETC.5. The reason most people didn’t update to windows 8.1 was it didn’t have a start menu when you can download free ones that just works just fine on it. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalju Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Just wondering who are those people still sticking to Windows 8 and why!An interesting idea! I can not understand why a person would want (must want)Windows 10, if it is immensely uncomfortable and basically none of the thing does not work stably.Especially this last - TH2 - no just horror, monster...Like dead crone in new dress, but still dead.
