Windows 7 emerges the winner of the Operating System trade
Though more players like Apple and Linux have entered the Operating System market
but Microsoft can still boast about having a 90 per cent market share. With many customers shifting to Windows 7; 89 per cent of the companies are also planning to use Windows 7. That, in spite of the fact that companies and offices generally do not upgrade as quickly as individuals due to the testing time and security costs involved.
Microsoft was not an investor's pet so far this year. However a rise of 3.4 billion pounds in its first quarter profits as compared to the same period last year is hoped to change the scene. Various indices like the American Customer Satisfaction Index have shown that the customer satisfaction for Microsoft has experienced an upward jump and Windows 7 is stated as one of the key factors.
Available at $80 for a simple upgrade and $320 for the top-of-the-range ultimate edition; Windows 7 has truly emerged as a king. It seems like a long time before Microsoft even thinks of bringing out a new kin to its range of Operating Systems.
