Announcement of Windows XP support withdrawal from
Microsoft was expected to cause a downfall in its users count significantly,
even Microsoft anticipated the same. But, reality showed a different picture,
which indicated that the market share for Windows XP in January grew rather
than declining, it’s believed on the expense of newest OS from Redmond.
Globally, XP managed to bag a 29.23% share in
January 2014, which moved up from 28.98% in December 2013. XP in this race
stood second, just behind Windows 7, which bagged 47.49% of the market share,
Windows 7 saw a decline from 47.52 percent, seen in December 2013.
XP’s support termination By Microsoft will start on
April 8th, this year. But, seeing the number of users who still use
XP, Microsoft has promised to extend the updates to its antimalware signatures
and engines, for Windows XP till 14th of July, 2015.
Redmond, on the other hand, will want you to start
using Windows 8, instead of XP, which in the recent times has emerged as the
top 3 operating system with a share of 6.63%. The first update to Windows 8 was
released in the form of Windows 8.1, which in January earned a percent of 3.95.
It indicated that about 10.37% of PC users are using some version of Windows 8,
even 1.5 years after its release, which was in October 2012. This percentage
has moved up slightly from where it stood in December, that is 10.5.
Meanwhile, the operating system which is much
criticized, Windows Vista grabs 3.3 percent of the market, and has seen a
slight decrease from December 2013, when its market share was close to 3.61%. On
the other hand, Mac OS X in January bagged close to 3.2%.
