¿Monopoly? Windows XP in business
Windows XP
In recent years, several analysts of the current market of operating systems have shown that the central and monopoly that Microsoft had been for several years and had managed to maintain over time, there was no more . The progressive positioning of IOS, the birth of several open source Linux distributions, among others, had done what seemed so far impossible to unseat the "giant".
However, this type of analysis suffers from something. In their enthusiasm for a market that actually does not have hegemonic positions and monopolistic agents, unaware of the actual existence of these, and are quick to diagnose the power of new agents in the reality of practice, only manage to make a slight shadow who stands as the axis of evil.
So a correct analysis would be one who can stay within the strict limits of reality, then claiming realism as most appropriate strategy for effective knowledge of the current state of the operating system market.
That realism would have to recognize, for example, the fundamental position that has Windows XP in the field of business, when what it is desktop. According to an analysis worthy of respect published a few days, 59.9% of computers in business are governed by this version of Windows. Read more
The Dell without Windows XP
Dell and Windows XP
The computer world is a world that has not yet been completely dismantled by the corrosive analysis of injustice. As if the parallel world that he creates with hyper-network and not part of the real world in which people are treated unfairly, and are not recognized in its entirety.
Why is the consumer of a notebook has to have already chosen the operating system will come with your laptop? Many probably will not take the time to think this, but it is already evidence that the inability for many to choose, to take a autonomous decision about the options available in the market gives a kind of injustice that slowly seems to be repaired.
The case that now I had to have help in this regard, since Dell has announced it will no longer offer Windows XP as operating system for PCs sold from September, but will continue to update the drivers for that version.
It is the never ending story for Micrososft. Death is final or not Windows XP, which in recent years has had many twists and turns as to the ultimate demise of one of its most popular operating systems and more successfully.
Without going any further, d you the latest news on this subject are somewhat contradictory, with Microsoft's decision not to sell more versions of XP to netbook manufacturers for a little later expand the option to downgrade from Windows Vista to XP until 2020. Read more
Windows 7 or XP
Windows 7
Everyone knows that in the world of operating systems and large multinational firms, things are not simple nor univocal but often are quite contradictory possibilities of analysis.
In this connection it is easy to see that Windows 7 has long been growing at a pace that would allow long beat Vista usage share by July this year
.
At the end is delayed another month, but according NetMarketShare has succeeded, becoming the second most used OS in the world with a 14.46% share, leaving over Vista (14.34%), but still far behind Windows XP ( 61.87%).
Interestingly, according to figures NetMarketShare, all operating systems have lost share except Windows 7. Does this mean that Win7 is capturing users of Mac OS X or Linux? No. This general decline is that the mobile OS, which share the same cake that desktop are growing rapidly.
On the other hand, however well it is going to Windows 7, XP is still by far the master of the operating systems. In fact, Windows XP is more used than all other OS together (including Mac OS X and various Linux distributions). And, although thanks to the release of Windows 7 has made significantly decrease the amount of people using XP, it still lacks enough to get even 50% of quota. Read more
The paradox of Microsoft
Windows XP
In Microsoft's world things do not happen as they should occur. This ethics course that requires the passing of our times and the same timing that the information society requires.
As is known, the speed at which messages flow is incomparable with the speed at which signs traveled in past periods of human culture. The speed at which banishes innovation innovation in a turn before biting its own tail makes a triumphant moment fall by its own logic, in a trap from which it is difficult to get out.
This is the case of Microsoft, as we said. What is the paradox of Microsoft? While positioned in terms of economics and power as the most successful operating system in the world, has fallen into contradiction with himself that prevent further progress by the evolutionary tracks requires technological innovation. There are restrictions, barriers to this development: their end users to get used to the new versions back to Windows XP operating system. Naturally, this type of behavior patterns have to be concerned regressive not as an aberration of subjectivity user is unable to keep up the circumstances. Symptomatically but indicates some of the operation of Windows.
In principle, we all know that this restriction harms Windows. But can not understand why the Redmond company has decided to extend the term of the option to 'downgrade' the system to Windows XP from Windows 7 until 2020. Is that this seems more a way of kicking the problem further before an effective solution of it. Read more
The final goodbye Windows XP
The final goodbye XP
Windows has announced recently that it will not be possible to buy netbooks with Windows XP preinstalled. As we know, netbooks were the last place where the spark pervivía XP and now run down and quite needy. More than two years ago that Windows XP had stopped selling to manufacturers and end users. From October 22 this year and not with that concession by Microsoft to melancholy users can count on.
This removal of market Windos XP was not an overnight. If you first stopped selling the operating system, followed by offering to preinstall on netbooks, but also was given the option to downgrade to those who purchase the Windows Vista Business edition. Then, this was ruled out, since the launch on Windows 7 downgrade option eliminated. The last step in dismantling this scale was that decision to remove the XP netbooks.
In a portion of the user community should not generate much resistance this decision by Microsoft. For some time that more than 80 percent of netbooks sold in the U.S. market come with Windows 7. To prove that Windows 7 runs well on PCs with Atom processor, and solving that problem on the inability to run more than 3 applications simultaneously, many of the users have come to accept the Windows 7.
