Windows 9

It seems that when faced with the failure of its Windows 8 software, even Microsoft can’t help but get excited about replacing it with Windows 9. So much so that last week it mistakenly posted a mockup of its Windows logo on a Chinese social media site.
Rumours are gathering strength that the new Operating System will be with us by the end of this month. However, Microsoft is still facing a huge task of getting people to upgrade.
Windows 8 was meant to attract more people than ever. Microsoft expected users to leave behind Windows XP but this never happened. Even with Microsoft stopping support for XP in April, 24% of computers that are connected to the internet still use Windows XP. That makes it the second most popular operating system!
To put it into perspective 51.21% use Windows 7, 13% use Windows 8 or 8.1 and around 4.29% use Mac OS X 10.9. Even with those companies who are moving towards Windows 7 or 8.1, research has shown that it takes around 7 months for them to complete the move.
Therefore, the challenge for Microsoft is quite clear. Windows 9 needs to be an Operating System that compels people to leave behind the 15 year old XP. We look forward to seeing what the software giant release at the end of the month.
