Windows 7 is available on more than half of global PCs
According to the latest information from StatCounter, Windows 7 is currently the most popular operating system worldwide. This will become a major barrier for the usurpation of Windows 8.
Specifically, Windows 7 was present at 52.6% of computers worldwide. Meanwhile, the 11-year-old operating system - Windows XP quickly lost users and was reduced to 23.76%. Mac OS X ranked third with a market share of 7.54%, followed by Windows Vista with only 6.47% of the global total.
Windows 8 is not included in the statistics table, but with information from research firm Net Application, the new operating system jumped over the 2% mark. It is too early to say anything, in the future, it is certain that the market share of operating systems will have many changes.
