In an attempt to boost their plummeted popularity owing to the disappointing performance of Windows 8, Microsoft has released an upgraded version, the Windows 8.1 OS. Now the software giant has made the Windows 8.1 PC hardware available from vendors, but the question still remains whether they’ll be able to redeem their blemished reputation.
Microsoft claims the new Windows 8.1 PC will be delivering all the features that users expected from Windows 8. Even if this OS is better as Microsoft claims, this is not necessarily enough to boost sales. The bar’s been set higher than usual, thanks to the Windows 8 fiasco. This OS did not fare well and Microsoft is still facing flak on that account, so there is a high chance that 8.1 will not be received as popularly as Windows 7. The battle of popularity between Windows 7 vs Windows 8 is still strong.
Windows 7 is Still Out There
Microsoft could have pulled it off with Windows 8, had they released many years later, once Windows 7 was no longer in demand. Unfortunately for Microsoft Windows 7 is still very fresh, and users prefer it way more than Windows 8. Owing to its high performance many customers are not tempted to go for the new OS, which shifts the popularity of Windows 7 vs Windows 8 in favor of Windows 7. Customers may need more persuasion for going with the OS, at which Microsoft is failing right now. Only time will tell if Windows 8.1 will make any impact; as of now the entire series of Windows 8 is hardly making any traction.
Windows 7 is performing well, so why would any enterprise opt for the Windows 8 OS? When Microsoft rolled out the Windows 8, many CIOs opted against it and ignored it completely. Now many are left wondering if Microsoft will ever make a strong comeback from this blunder.
Windows 8 needs to make a huge comeback else Microsoft might lose more of customer satisfaction, which is already in decline thanks to Android and Apple. Windows 8 faced as much criticism as Windows Vista got when it was released. This clearly proves that Microsoft has still not gotten a grasp of the customers’ needs. They owe it to loyal customers to come up with something better. Only time will tell if Windows 8.1 is a valid success at being just that.
