Since April 2014, Windows XP has not received updates and patches, so it is more or less obvious that those still running this operating system should upgrade to a newer version as soon as possible in order to avoid security holes in the operating system's code.
In November 2014, XP usage fell to 13.57%, down from 17.18% the previous month and down from 26.29% in April, when Microsoft officially ended support.
This reduction is not at all strange, especially since Microsoft is preparing version 10 as quickly as possible, which is expected to fix many annoying elements that the operating system had until now, but also to take user feedback more seriously.
While XP continues to decline, version 8.1 of the operating system is really gaining more and more users, especially now that most companies have upgraded their workstations and computers.
Windows 8.1reached a market share of 12.10% in November, up from 10.92% in October. Interestingly, Windows 8.1 managed to double its market share in just a few months, since in July only 6.56% of computers in the world had the new operating system installed. Currently, versions 8 and 8.1 are the second most used operating system in the world.
Microsoft is working feverishly on the new version of Windows 10, and all users can get the latest news and developments on the new operating system by installing the TP version that is currently being released. In January, the company is expected to release the commercial version in preview, along with a preview version of Internet Explorer 12.Rumors indicate that version 10 will be made available for free to users with operating system version 8.1, which explains the great popularity of this version.
