Microsoft stops pre-installing Win7 Home Starter Edition, Home Premium and Ultimate Edition or paving the way for Win9

  

Because Win 7's market share is too large, if Microsoft does not take some tough measures, it may be difficult for users to voluntarily give up Win 7, upgrade to Win 9. Gradually stop pre-installing Win 7, Microsoft is doing its best to pave the way for the popularity of Win 9.

Recently, Microsoft announced that after October 31, Microsoft will no longer provide copies of Windows 7 Home Premier, Home Premium and Ultimate for its PC partners or system integrators. This means that PC manufacturers will not be able to pre-install these versions of Win7 in the future, which may be a good thing for the upcoming Win9.

1 Overall, the market share of Win 7+XP+Win8+Win8.1 is still very large, basically maintaining a market share of 85%-90% or more, and there is a small increase. This means that Microsoft's strength in the field of PC operating systems is still dominant.

2, Win 7 has been around for five years, but there is still no sign of "aging", which has occupied more than half of the operating system market share in recent times, and with Microsoft stopping to update XP, Win 7's market share has increased slightly.

3, the strange thing is XP. In April of this year, Microsoft announced that it would stop updating the XP system, but XP did not appear in the warning "collapse", but only declined in a very small margin, and the market share to date is still above 20%.

4, Win 8 and Win 8.1 can be put together to illustrate. The combined market share of the two is relatively stable, and has remained at around 10%-12% for the past 11 months. Since Win 8.1 is an upgraded version of Win 8, which has improved many features, the share of Win 8.1 is steadily increasing. However, it should be noted that Win 8.1 is only eating away the share of Win 8, and the impact on XP and Win 7 is almost small.

At the Microsoft Build conference in April this year, Microsoft showed the future of the Windows system. The whole feeling is somewhat “retro”, and the future Windows changes are more like Windows 7. Terry Myerson, executive vice president of Microsoft's operating system division, showed the most important "new" changes in Windows systems, but it is also a familiar tool: there was an iconic "start menu" in the Windows system. This shows that Microsoft has realized that Win 8 design is a huge mistake, the magnetic interface, touch-based interface is not suitable for traditional PCs and laptops.

The software company development representative said at the Build 2014 conference that the new interface of Win 8 system has not become popular, and many users prefer the previous one. "Company of the World" writing editor Preston Glarah bluntly, Win 8 performance is worse than Vista in the same period of the product release cycle, it seems to be the worst performing software in Microsoft's already released operating system.

From this we can see that although there has been no official confirmation, Microsoft has actually gradually abandoned Win 8/8.1 and accelerated the pace of the introduction of Win 9. However, because Win 7's market share is too large, if Microsoft does not take some tough measures, it may be difficult for users to voluntarily give up Win 7, upgrade to Win 9. Gradually stop pre-installing Win 7, Microsoft is doing its best to pave the way for the popularity of Win 9.
