After Windows 7 is released: XP users wait and see

        Data from the InfoWorld website's WindowsPulse service shows that Windows 7 has a market share of more than 4%. The data also shows that the increase in the number of Windows 7 users is at the expense of the reduction in the number of Vista users, and the number of XP users has not changed much. Of the users who recently signed up for the WindowsPulse service, 10% currently use various versions of Windows 7, while users who use Vista are only slightly above 30%. At the same time, the market share of the two operating systems has shown a trend of decreasing, that is, the share of Windows7 is rising, while the share of Vista is falling.

the highest market share of Windows Caozuojitong still XP, XP's share is currently stable at slightly below 64% level. Obviously, those who are on the XP side of the XP and Vista battles still insist on using the operating system. However, this is not surprising. As the enthusiasm of Windows 7 release to users fades, the future growth of Windows 7 will mainly depend on the upgrade of operating systems by enterprise users.

However, this data for Microsoft is still good news. This shows that users still have a lot of demand for Vista-like operating systems, although this part of the demand is mainly from users who are using Vista.

biggest question is whether XP can smoothly fade out, the number of users of Vista has been a downward trend, if the trend continues, then once Vista to Windows7 users transfer is completed, Windows7 growth could stagnate. Such a result will be a disaster for Microsoft because Microsoft must control the Windows release cycle through Windows 7.
