Well Windows 7 is just a nice solid operating system without a bunch of Balmer crap all over it.
The total gain of 0.05% is a weak figure. The main competitor to Windows
8.x, Windows 7, spanked its homegrown rival in November. As The Next
Web's Emil Protalinski pointed out earlier today,
“Windows 7 grabbed 0.22 percentage points (from 46.42 percent to 46.64
percent). In November, Windows 7 thus managed to gain more share than
Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 combined.” That 0.22% is more than four times
the aggregate growth curve for Windows 8.x during the month.
I think this is actually indicative of the death of the PC. Let's say you bought a Windows 7 machine a few years ago. You were interested in maybe upgrading to Windows 8 before you heard it was totally crappy. You probably won't buy a Windows 8.1 machine because your Windows 7 machine is perfectly serviceable. Most people are browsing the Internet on a tablet or a phone so in some households that Windows 7 machine might not even get turned on.
