The Death of XP is Neigh as Windows 7 Surpasses it in the U.S.
It was bound to happen, no matter how hard people tried to hold on to a 10 year old operating system. Word came today from Pingdom that Windows 7 has finally surpassed Windows XP in the U.S.
As of April Windows 7 has 31.71% of the desktop operating system market whereas Windows XP is now down to 31.56%.
Granted the numbers are pretty close together, but it does show that Windows 7 is slowly displacing Microsoft’s most popular operating system. This shift isn’t happening only in the U.S. but also in several other countries around the world:
- United Kingdom
- Canada
- Australia
- France
- Germany
- Belgium
- Denmark
- Finland
- Netherlands
- Norway
- Sweden
