Windows 8 Even Less Popular Than Vista

[wraggster]

Windows 8 uptake has slipped behind Vista's at the same point after its release. Windows 8 online usage share is around 1.6% of all Windows PCs, which is less than the 2.2% share that Windows Vista commanded (http://www.kitguru.net/software/operating-systems/benjamin/windows-8-proving-less-popular-than-vista/) at the same two-month mark after release. Net Applications monitors operating system usage by recording OS version for around 40,000 sites it monitors for clients. The slowdown for Windows 8 adoption is a bad sign for Microsoft, who experienced great success with the release of Windows 7. Data was measured up to the 22nd of December (http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/24/technology/tepid-sales-of-microsofts-windows-8-point-to-shaky-market.html?), so there is still time by the end of the month for Windows 8 to claim a higher percentage of the user base
