Windows 8 mostly gains it's share because most laptops or manufacturer configured pc's, are shipped with them. It's a move that actually explains, why computer sales have dropped or aren't increasing. Also worth noting, most new laptops for instance running on win8, can't be or are difficult to revert back to win7(no drivers on the manufacturer's website for example) which is a shame though
Words so true. I wonder what kind of market share Windows 8 would actually have right now if it wasn't the "default" operating system on new PCs and laptops. I wonder how much smaller the total market share of Windows 8 would be right now if you could walk into a Best Buy and purchase a computer with Windows 7 already installed without requesting a downgrade.
