Microsoft Warns but Windows 7 Loyalists Refuse to Budge

 Windows 7 has to be the most popular operating system launched by Microsoft ever. Despite company having moved up first to Windows 8 and now to Windows 10, loyal Windows 7 users continue to refuse to leave their loved operating system. It is really surprising for experts, especially when Microsoft has officially withdrawn its Windows help and support to Windows 7. 

According to analytics firm Net Market Share, the market share of Windows 7 in January 2020 has fallen only slightly from 29.57% in December 19 to 25.56%. Ironically, Microsoft officially withdrew its support to Windows 7 in January 2020 that is reflected in the data released by Net Market Share. In fact, even Microsoft is disappointed by this small decline in market share of Windows 7 as it was expecting a much bigger decline in market share of Windows 7. But what comes as a shock for the company is the fact that the numbers are literally unchanged in terms of market share of Windows 7 in February 2020 with only 0.37% of the loyal customers having switched to another or the latest operating system of Microsoft. With Windows 10 having gained only 0.31% in its market share in the same time, it is certainly worrying news for the company. Windows 10 has surged ahead with nearly 57.39% of the people using it in February 2020, according to the report of the analytics firm. 

What transpires from these figures is that users of Windows 7 initially responded well to the appeal made by the company but apparently developed cold feet after initial enthusiasm. This is really surprising, especially when everyone from Microsoft to the experts have been issuing warnings to the loyal Windows 7 users about security threats to their systems. 

Amy Hood, the chief financial officer at Microsoft, recently made remarks about the poor migration figures of Windows 7 users. She sought to downplay the development and attributed it to the slowdown seen in the market where new computers are not being introduced by the manufacturers. She added that there was a problem in the shipment of chips of PCs and this was responsible for a poor response of Windows 7 users. There are reports that the supply chain has been adversely impacted by the spread of corona virus in China and other South Asian markets. Windows help phone number has been echoing the same sentiment when contacted by common users.

These reports might be true but slow migration of Windows 7 users cannot be blamed upon non availability of hardware. This is because it is possible for anyone to upgrade to Windows 10 while choosing to continue with the same hardware that he has been using. 

On its part, Microsoft has been issuing veiled security threats to the owners of Windows 7 systems but these threats do not seem to have any impact. It appears that Microsoft is going to wage a long drawn battle against all Windows 7 users who refuse to migrate to the latest operating system from the company. 

Microsoft is willing to help Windows 7 users amenable to an upgrade. It has asked them to contact Windows support number.

Subsidized Hp Printers Only With Locked in Hp Print Supplies

Image
 HP is one of the major players in the world of printers and print supplies. High quality printers are sold by the company at low prices. This  HP printer support  to the customers comes with the expectation that they will use print supplies made by the company. In fact, the bulk of the revenues for HP are generated through the sale of print supplies. Now the company has hinted a shift towards managed print business model that will make sure customers get printers at subsidized rates only if they fulfill their print supplies through the company. This business plan was disclosed by the executives of HP last week. According to this plan, HP printers at low prices will only be made available only if the customer agrees to purchase print supplies through HP partners. Customers not agreeing to this plan and using supplies form third party vendors will have to pay more for the same printers. This move by HP is being seen as a response to a decrease in its print supplies business. By signing

Users are asked to install some browser extensions when setting up the program on their computers.

Threats Increasing for Mac Devices, Feels Malwarebytes

Image
 A new study carried out by Malwarebytes has revealed that threat detections for Mac computers have been on a rise in 2019. This study done by Malwarebytes lab researchers focused upon top threats for Windows, Mac, and Android based devices. They found that out of top 25 threats, 6 were mainly found on Mac devices. This is not an unusual statistic but when one takes a look at relatively small numbers of Mac devices in comparison to Android and Windows devices, he feels this is a relatively high number. If you are a Mac user, you can confirm this finding by contacting  Malwarebytes help number . The same sentiment was echoed by Malwarebytes Mac and Mobile Director Thomas Reed. He said that 16% threats for Mac devices is not a big number but it becomes interesting when one takes a look at the relatively smaller numbers of Mac devices being used by consumers these days. Reed also added that the presence of Malwarebytes on Mac computers is also 1/8 in comparison to Windows based computers.
