(3) Windows 95 remains most popular operating system
Despite the hoopla and expectations that accompanied the
launch of the Windows 98 operating system, research shows that
its predecessor remains the popular choice. Although Windows 98
was only available from Microsoft in the second half of last
year, the numbers for Windows 95 that year are a telling
reminder about the computer marketplace. Windows 98 dominates
the home market and is growing in popularity with small and
medium-sized businesses. But large businesses have stuck for the
most part with Windows 95 and even the previous version, Windows
3.11, particularly those large organizations with long-term
software licenses. Windows 95 accounted for 57.4 percent of the
desktop operating system market last year, according to market
research firm International Data Corporation. Windows 98 took
17.2 percent of the roughly 89 million units shipped.
