Batu69 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Preliminary November data shows the growth continues Preliminary share stats for November 2015 Windows 10 continues its growth, and preliminary data for the month of November 2015 shows that the operating system has become the third most used desktop platform in the world, managing to overtake Windows XP and Mac OS X. Launched in late July, Windows 10 had a rapid early growth but slowed down in September, as more people decided to wait for the Threshold 2 release and only then move to the new OS. And these statistics show that Threshold 2 indeed brought more people on board, but given the fact that they only concern the first 15 days of November, the impact this update had on Windows 10’s market share is not fully measured. Windows 7 still the king Right now, Windows 10 continues to be the world’s number one desktop operating system with a share of 49.91 percent, followed by Windows 8.1 with 13.11 percent. In other words, Windows 7 is still the platform of choice for one in two computers in the world, which is quite impressive, given the fact that this OS was launched in 2009 and two other versions have arrived since then. Windows 10, however, managed to speed up its growth to eventually reach a market share of 9.8 percent, and by the end of the month, these figures are expected to continue going up, as Threshold 2 is reason enough for many to upgrade. Microsoft says that Threshold 2 also makes Windows 10 ready for the enterprise sector, and given the fact that companies own tens, hundreds, or even thousands of computers that can be upgraded, the software giant is very confident that the growth can be more significant in the coming months. The free upgrade offer, however, is only available for consumers, so enterprises that want to install Windows 10 still have to pay for a license. Of course, the biggest challenge is to convince these enterprises to upgrade, so it remains to be seen if Windows 10 can be successful in this sector too.

steven36 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Great?" but when do I get my reserved copy to test if it is so good?Really you're not missing nothing . I sort of already predicted this would happen long ago ,,once they pushed out the 1st major update Windows 10 would rise in the market share . Its going to be a major pain every time they do this . It installs all the crap back you remove and it makes some stuff stop working is what i get from reports. Really if you're PC is compatible you don't have to wait on no reserved upgrade you can just download the image and upgrade from it . When I tested it July - Oct I just updated from and iso I got from Microsoft it worked on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 legit copies . No need to wait Needless to say I'm already bored to death with Windows 10 and just using Windows 8.1 for Windows and moved on to test Linux witch has all kinds of O/S i can test. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
