The bad news doesn’t end here for Windows 7. The latest statistics confirmed that Windows 7 is slowly losing its market share. A recent study shows a significant increase in market share for Windows 10 indeed. Microsoft recently released a new batch of Patch Tuesday updates for Windows 7, Server 2008 R2, Win8.1 and Server 2012 R2 systems. It seems like this update is going to be a disastrous one for Windows 7 users as many of them already reported tons of bugs. Microsoft needs to deal with a bad round of patches once again.
