Survey: Vista users upgrade to Windows 7 most active

November 12 news Infoworld website Windows Pulse service survey data shows that Windows7 market share has exceeded 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 Windows Pulse service, 10% currently use various versions of Windows 7, and 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 Windows operating system with the highest market share is still XP, and the share of XP is currently stable at just below 64%. 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 is still good news for Microsoft. 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.

At present, the biggest problem is whether XP can be smoothly faded out. The number of Vista users has shown a downward trend. If this trend continues, then once Vista users move to Windows 7, Windows 7 growth may be stagnant. Such a result will be a disaster for Microsoft because Microsoft must control the Windows release cycle through Windows 7.
