Data said; Win 8 has accounted for 2.3% of US and Windows network traffic

Beijing time on December 23, according to foreign media reports, market research firm Chitika Insights issued

cloth latest data shows that Windows 8 occupied the United States two weeks after its launch And 2.3% of Canada's entire Windows network traffic. In contrast, Apple's Mac OS X Mountain Lion accounted for 3.2% of the entire OS X network traffic in the US and Canada in just 48 hours. For Microsoft, this is definitely good news.

Of course, many people will point out that this data means that Apple Mac OS X Mountain Lion is popular faster than Windows 8, but the ratio does not fully explain the problem. Because Microsoft's market share in the desktop operating system is very large, the 2.3% traffic share of Windows 8 indicates that it represents a much larger traffic than the 3.2% share of OS X.

Chitika Insights has quantified its "on the hundreds of millions of Windows ad impressions" on its ad network, and has come up with a percentage of Windows' overall Windows traffic. The study found that Windows 7 accounted for 59.5% of the total Windows network traffic, Windows XP accounted for 27.1%, Windows Vista accounted for 11.1%, and Windows 8 accounted for 2.3%.

The report said that the Windows 8 network traffic share reached its peak in early December 2012 and remained stable. The latest data shows that 2.3% of the entire Windows network traffic comes from Windows 8 users.

However, this ratio is likely to continue to improve, because people will go out during the Christmas holidays. After the holiday, people will take their Christmas gifts - the new Windows 8 computer, which will further increase Windows. 8 network traffic.

It has been reported that the Internet traffic of Windows 8 after one month of launch is lower than that of Windows 7, but this is only early data, and there is still a lot of uncertainty. After a few months, or even a year later, we can make a comprehensive comparison of the two operating systems. In addition, early data shows that Windows 8 is selling well.
