Janco recently released data from its research on browsers and operating systems on the market, which reveals that Windows 7 has had an astonishing growth.

Less than seven months after launch, the latest Microsoft operating system reached about 15% of the market, surpassing its predecessor. “The last operating system that was so well accepted by the market as Windows 7 was Windows XP,” says the CEO of Janco, Victor Janulaitis, according to PR Newswire.

The good news in relation to the operating system contrasts with statistics from Internet Explorer which, although still the most used browser, with 67.73% market share, lost many users and is the same level it was in 1998, the site highlights Beta News.

This result emphasizes the Janco, may be due to the fact that users of Windows Vista and Windows 7 are more likely to install two browsers on the same machine, and they use them at different times. It is speculated also suggest that the requirement for browsers other than Internet Explorer in European versions of Windows has affected the market dominance of IE.

Of all the differences between Vista and 7, perhaps the most pleasing to users is to reduce the number of services that is loaded at startup. Opening just the necessary to its operation, Windows becomes lighter in terms of memory consumption as processing.
