Windows 8.1 Passes Windows Vista In Market Share

Posted by samzenpus on Sunday February 2, 2014 @10:07AM from the growing-everyday dept.

An anonymous reader writes "With the release of Windows 8.1 to the world in October, January was the third full month of availability for Microsoft's latest operating system version, which was just enough time for it to pass Windows Vista in market share. While Windows 8.1 is certainly growing steadily and eating into Windows 8s share, the duo only managed to end 2013 with 10 percent market share, barely impacting Windows 7."

Wake me when it passes XP
Well, that was the most funny bit in the article: XP is on the rise.

Windows XP meanwhile managed to regain some share after falling below the 30 percent mark at the end of 2013, increasing 0.25 percentage points (from 28.98 percent to 29.23 percent).
