Windows 7 users are satisfied, Forrester reports
eWeek | at | by Mike
Microsoft's Windows 7 operating system scored high satisfaction numbers from users in a recent survey. However, only 10 percent of Windows XP and Windows Vista users also reported they would upgrade to Windows 7 within the next six months. A Forrester analyst suggests that Windows 7 has broken the usual pattern of users primarily acquiring the new Windows OS when purchasing fresh hardware. Windows 7 has sold 90 million copies since its release in October 2009, according to Microsoft.
About 86 percent of surveyed Windows 7 users said they were satisfied with the operating system, according to a recent report by analyst company Forrester Research, but only 10 percent of Windows XP and Windows Vista users said they planned to upgrade to Windows 7 within the next six months.
