Beijing time on March 18th, according to statistics from the CNET website, the proportion of companies currently using the Windows 7 operating system has reached about 16%, and another 42% are preparing to switch to this system within this year. This statistical activity was completed in January this year. A total of 923 companies were surveyed, and 58% of them said that by the end of this year, at least one machine in the company will be installed and running Windows 7 system.
Considering that the RTM version of Windows 7 was only launched in July last year, and the official version was only launched in October last year, it has obviously surpassed its predecessor Vista to achieve such results. Microsoft's Windows XP upgrade strategy is gradually working. They started by killing IE6. After all, whether the product can obtain Microsoft's long-term technical support service is the most important factor for most companies. Subsequently, more and more companies began to choose to skip Vista and upgrade XP directly to Windows 7. At present, the pressure to upgrade XP is increasing. In order to encourage enterprises to upgrade to Windows 7, Microsoft also lost no time in announcing that Windows 7 is the fastest-selling operating system in their history.
According to Microsoft, they have sold 90 million copies of the genuine authorized Windows 7 operating system, and they plan to have global genuine sales of Windows 7 reach about 300 million copies by the end of the year. (Compiled by CNBeta)
