Studio384 Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 So guys, it's the first of the month again, and we all know what that means! Statistics! Todays are rather impressive through. While Windows XP had to give up almost 6% of it's market share, Windows 8.1 took prety much all of it, with a growth of 4,2%. Windows 7 and Windows 8 jumped ahead with 0.3%. The browser market is as impressive. Internet Explorer 8 lost 5% of the market. Internet Explorer 11 on the other hand gains 7%. IE10 too saw a raise (0.5%), while IE9 falls (-0.7%). Internet Explorer 6 only has half the marketshare from last month, with just 1,6% left (down from 3,2%). This makes that IE8, for the first time since years, has lost it's 1st position in the charts (now second), while IE11 takes the crown. There is a 7% gap between the 2 browsers now. These are some impressive gains, however, it can be argued that this is due to a error in last months statistics, where everything went agains the trent from the past year.

simonlang Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 A 4% jump in one month is impressive either way you want to try and spin it. Specially for something people love to hate. 4% jump is not impressive especially if we consider that still a wide majority uses win 7 which is now about getting 6 years old. scientifically win8/8.1 is not yet widely accepted and the fact that next year win 10 will be out makes it very hard to believe anything big is gonna change for win 8/8.1. many would call it even a flop and i tend to agree. the numbers look bad. period.

George P Global Moderator Posted November 1, 2014 Global Moderator Share Posted November 1, 2014 The numbers look bad, or low, because they're speeding up the release cycle, 8.1 isn't going to be on the market long enough to make it as high as 7 or XP, heck XP was that high because it was on the market for so long to begin with. Even with Windows 10 looking good so far, depending what MS does going forward, it's market share could be low because they could push out a 10.1 update in 2016, they way they're moving things.
