XP is Dead? The rumors of my demise...


Windows XP is Dead Long Live Windows 8/8.1! (er 7)?

Windows XP officially "died" on April 8th yet the worldwide market share is still over 18% of the installed computers.  This is due to the fact that most people aren't really aware of what Operating System they are using.  Most home users confuse Windows, and Office versions not really knowing one from the other.  (No wonder the hackers have it easy).

 The latest stats show that Windows 7 is the most widely used Operating system and the MacOSX still lags at less than 9%.  IOS devices are at 9%. This is for the traditional market of desktops, laptops, and tablets.

This proves that many are opting for Windows 7 and not giving Windows 8/8.1 a real chance.  I use both and I have to say that for mobile/laptop devices you can't beat 8.1.  Its touch capabilities are phenomenal and it has many great tools that make it easy to use and integrate into a network environment.

The questions we ask as a consulting firm is what do you use your "device" for?  Depending on the answer we will recommend different solutions.
