Windows 8 to 3.84% grows less than expected, also the fault of the market situation?

The data confirm a growth of NetApplication inferore expectations for Windows 8, which percentage is equal to 3.84%.

This slowdown is due to several factors, including the general decline in the PC market estimated to be around 10% in the first months of the year

As usual NetApplications has made ​​available the data on the distribution of different operating systems installed on the PC, and a measurement is made ​​using the information collected by the systems in the first rete.Il as evidenced by the reports for this month is the slowdown in the growth of Windows 8: the last system from Microsoft is kept under close observation, and is often compared to its predecessor Windows 7.

In last month's Windows 8 has reached the proportion of 3.84% of the then growing a little less than one percentage point, and this represents a slowdown compared to previous months. The percentage of Vista falls by 0.24% while that of Windows 7 drops of 0.01% of a total of 44.72%.

Some analysts highlight how Windows 8 in the early months has grown less than Windows 7,and for certain Windows 7 is identified as the new Windows XP, an operating system that has stood on the market for 12 years. However, we believe that the numbers of NetApplication should be evaluated in a more comprehensive, including in relation to data relating to major drops in sales in the PC market: the decline reported for the first quarter is higher than 10%.

This situation is due to the steady growth in sales of smartphones and tablets, types of products that are from time capturing the interest of consumers no longer so attracted to traditional PC. To this we must combine the sharp decline in sales of netbooks , type of product which is designed for a quick and complete exit from the market according to the latest statistics. A deepening of the PC market sales recorded in the first three months of 2013 is available at this address.
