Windows 7 vs XP

Numerous expert reviews claimed that Windows 7 is a successfull product. The figures provided by Microsoft show that it’s true. During 18 months after Windows7’s launch over 350 million licenses have been sold around the world.

W3Schools’ stats show that about 34.1% of users currently use Windows 7. Definitely, this figure is great, but nevertheles the newest Microsoft’s OS has not reached the share of it’s much older version. Please welcome the world’s favourite: Windows XP. This OS, released in 2001, still has a huge share of 42,9%! Windows Vista is used by 7,9% of users, Linux - by 5.1%, MacOS - by 8%.

CES 2011: The Biggest Winners and Losers

Monday, January 10th, 2011

The Consumer Electronics Show is the Super Bowl of the technology industry. As much as industry analysts and the tech press whine about CES being too big and being a relic of a bygone era, there’s no better place for tech companies to make a big splash that will be remembered throughout the year, and in some cases for years to come.

It’s also the place where tech companies can jockey for a better position in the market by generating more attention for their product line than a competitor’s. Conversely, companies that don’t make a good showing at CES can risk creating an impression that they are falling behind and risk having their products get lost in the crowd.

Microsoft Security Essentials: Free for Small Businesses

Friday, September 24th, 2010
