Windows 7 becomes the most popular operating system in the world

 

Windows XP operating system may be the most beloved of the story (as far as Windows terms of course), but 10 years after it was launched, and not the most popular, because that distinction now belongs ultimately to Windows 7.
It has taken three years, but at the end of the Windows 7 managed to surpass his brother and now has a market share of 42.76%, while that of XP is at 42.52%. Yes, that's almost a tie, but certainly W7 has been gaining on XP for quite some time, and certainly in the next few months the space between them becomes greater.
Something worth this is related to the launch of Windows 8, which is expected in late October. While an increasing number of promotional campaigns in favor of that OS, users who will determine if W8 will be a failure or a success. If Windows 8 is not successful for some reason (confusing interface, no start menu, etc.), Then W7 will be the one to benefit, as did XP when Vista was released.
What operating system you use today? Personally, I use two: Windows XP and Fedora.
