Computer store news:

A study and new network user data shows that Windows 8 adoption rate is not as good as its predecessor products, especially not as good as Windows 7 Performance. Net Applications, a US market research firm, said that only 1.01% of the computers that visited it this week used the Windows 8 operating system, far behind the 45.56% of Windows 7 and 39.50% of Windows XP.

Market research firm Toluna QuickSurveys' extensive online survey of UK Internet users found that only 39% may upgrade to Win8, indicating that the new operating system is compared to its predecessor operating system launched three years ago. The achievements have been slow. The survey, conducted by Toluna QuickSurveys, began in October this year and has received responses from 2,000 British adults (ages 18 and older). The survey found that in addition to the number that could be upgraded to Win8
, when it comes to Microsoft Windows operating system, 28% said that Windows 7 is their first choice. This is the latest Windows that has been selected. The 14% ratio of 8 is twice. According to the study, the initial customer response indicates that Microsoft has not been able to gain the interest of many potential tablet users. The proportion of respondents who plan to purchase Windows 8 operating system tablets is almost the same as the plan to purchase Apple iOS tablet and Android platform tablet. The proportion of the three computers is almost equal, 13%, 13% and 14%, respectively, while the acceptance rate for Windows RT platform tablets is only 2%. A survey by Toluna QuickSurveys shows that the low interest in Windows 8 may be partly due to the fact that existing users are still satisfied with the success of Windows 7. These users have upgraded from XP or Vista to Windows 7 in the past three years and don't see any reason to change the current status. But other research figures from web browsing show that Windows 8 is slower for PC users to accept. US market research firm Net Applications said that only 1.01% of the computers that visited it this week were installed with Windows 8 operating system, far behind 45.56% of Windows 7 and 39.50% of Windows XP, and only Apple Mac. Half of any of the three latest versions of OS X, the lowest of the three latest versions of Apple's Mac OS X is 1.96%. After Windows 7 was launched in October 2009, the market accepted quickly. On November 2nd of that year, Tom's Hardware, a well-known hardware site in the industry, reported that “Windows 7 has officially become an integral part of the global mainstream market after a week and a half of launch, and 3.6% of all PCs tracked by market research companies are Windows 7 platform. "The interest in Windows 7 is already quite high," the site said at the time, "According to Channel Register, on October 21, the day before the official launch of the operating system, Windows 7 usage reached 1.89%. . ” On the day of the launch, the number increased to 1.99%, and by November 1 this figure increased to 3.67%. Net Applications later stated in November 2009 that the Windows 7 market share had reached 4% in just three weeks after its launch. An important difference between 2009 and 2012 is the large number of PCs worldwide, which may dilute the new PC effect. However, the number of PC installations in North America and Europe remained largely unchanged during this period, which means that Windows 8 in both regions should have the same number of buyers. Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer (Steve Ballmer) said on October 30th, a week after the launch of Windows 8, that Windows 8 sales for individual users reached 4 million in the first three days. Net Applications said that by the end of January 2010, three months after the launch of Windows 7, the Windows 7 market share rose to 7.5%. In 2012, PC sales slowed significantly, and buyers used tablets as an alternative to buying directions. The launch of Windows 8 has also received much attention due to the recent departure of Windows department director Steve · Steven Sinofsky, who led the development of Windows 8. Sinowski left Microsoft, apparently the result of his disagreement with other heads of the department. With the arrival of Black Friday: this week, consumers who are waiting for discounts may buy new computers, which may boost the performance of Windows 8 and PC manufacturers.
