Los datos ofrecidos por Steam nos dejaron pensando.

Data provided by Steam left us thinking.

This is nothing new the fact that Microsoft is doing well with Windows 7 . Licenses have been sold and have managed to penetrate in an interesting way in the market. But even so, the least surprising result has given statistics on the use Steam OS between the gamer world.

But before arriving at the results, we put a little context. The data correspond to the information obtained by the Steam platform for video games. How do they get information? Only need the platform, the system sends data hardware and software to the company. With these data, the company has obtained some interesting market statistics. For example, according to information received, the penetration of Windows 7 reaches 23%, four times the percentage that Net Applications in the sector assigned to the Microsoft OS.

On the other hand, the numbers also reveal that keeps scratching Vista 30% and the percentage obtained by the Windows 7 what it takes to XP, which has already fallen to less than 50% of users of the Steam platform .
And one last piece of information that leaves us thinking about the world gamer penetration, Windows 7 has done what the Vista performed in 3 years, 4 months only.

    3. Each statistic has a little trick. Steam provides player statistics, and statistics NetApplications provides web surfers.

    Back then, I do not know any "gamer" who had anything but windows, and most of them had the intention of skipping Vista. I do not think the Steam statistic unexpected.

    PS: to see if with the advent of the OpenGL iPad becomes popular among developers. : D

    4. I want to say.
    The fact of sending sensitive data from your computer to someone like a company I think is not ethical. So Steam now offers information on what type of computer you have to send to a central database to which you do not have access? Only they? So? Where is the privacy?
    Steam seems a macabre system that takes advantage of the players.
    But hey, that's the people.
    And on Windows 7 that make propaganda for it is better to play? I think it is not very productive.

    Greetings.

    5. Anye actually data on the operating system that uses a client is not so important. In the log you can see any web server and browser client operating system. In short, do not think it is much debate whether the operating system only look, for what browsers also identified.

    6. Yeah but you should at least ask before, I guess it does. Because that says that not only sends the type of operating system but also hardware. Something that sometimes you prefer to retain the right.

As you think of the Steam platform, Windows 7 is going barbarian among gamers? ...
