Windows 8 vs. Windows 7: Difficult trends for the new operating system

Windows 8 is now available for almost eight months, so that the new release 8.1 is already around the corner and see the light within two weeks from the stage of the Build Developer Conference 2013. The time to grow and distribute all been there, but the numbers recently emerged nail unfortunately this 'historic transition' to the pole, with a percentage of market penetration that May was just above 4.

Consumers have struggled to digest Windows 8, remaining in major cases anchored to the excellent Windows 7. To contribute but there is a disastrous trend in sales of PCs and notebooks in recent quarters , a factor that has certainly slowed further distribution, today certainly not satisfactory.

Microsoft, for its part stressed from time to time the success of its new operating system with the numbers of licenses handed out, not really a reliable indicator since a good percentage of PCs, notebooks and AiO stationed on retailers' shelves gathering dust. The comparison with the data of Net Application between the two generations of OS is really ruthless, leave you the judgment:

Windows 8.1 will not change that much maybe the cards on the table, the update will improve the user experience for sure but does not change the substance of what is at the heart of Windows 8, designed for next-generation device, equipped with touch and capable of handling the workload made available on two platforms Desktop and Start.

It is undeniable that Windows 8 is the party with the handbrake on, but at this point we are very curious to review the table at the end of year, after the tablet Windows 8 and Intel Haswell will be given the right boost to the market.
