Windows 10: With 53 million installations already has 5% of the market

New market analysis more conservative than we had seen  previously published Windows 10 installed on 53 million PCs worldwide. The new platform has already almost 5% of the market.

Not even a month has passed since the release of Windows 10, and already could begin to annoy the direct competition. At last count (seemingly more conservative than we had previously reported), the new Microsoft operating system has already been installed on 53 million computers around the world, going to approach drastically latest version of Mac OS released.

With 4.95% of the market for operating systems, Windows 10 will be positioned very close to OS X 10.10. However, estimates of the two operating systems come from different sources (StatCounter and NetMarketShare, using different methodologies), as a specific source, and it is difficult to make comparisons Carthusians. Nevertheless, the results obtained by Microsoft since the now are very satisfactory, and could make us forget the flop of Windows 8 in a very short time.

However, we continue to talk about numbers unofficial, since Microsoft has been silent since he had announced the achievement of 14 million installations after the first 24 hours of availability. It is clear that with the release of the first devices with Windows 10, the situation can still improve for the new Microsoft platform, expected to grow with an increase much higher than the previous version.

It is also important to note that Windows 10 gnawing its own grounds on Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 (the latter 13.09%), indicating that about the great, success is due to the particular and aggressive pricing strategy. Windows 10 are offered for free in the first year for all owners of genuine copies of the two previous versions, and it is clear that    this has helped the spread in the early periods after the launch.

Another reason why it does not seem legitimate to make direct comparisons, but it is clear that Microsoft is working very hard to achieve its goal: 1 billion devices Windows 10 in circulation within three years from the official debut.
