It’s no secret that Microsoft’s Windows 8 is an operating system that bundles significant security improvements and end-users finally seem to appreciate this.
A new survey conducted by
AVAST Software on 350,000 users revealed that 46 percent of the respondents agree that Windows 8 is “probably” more secure, while 18 percent of them said it is “definitely” better than its predecessor from a security standpoint.
While 65 percent of the Avast users were still running Windows 7 at the time of the survey, only 6 percent of them revealed they would “probably” buy a new Windows 8 computer in the near future. Only 2 percent admitted they will “definitely” do this.
Unsurprisingly, 22 percent of the respondents still had Windows XP running on their machines, but 72 percent of them said they would stick to PCs in the future. Only 7 percent would buy a Mac, while 21 percent would be interested in an iPad.
Microsoft
told us a few weeks ago that Windows 8 indeed comes with plenty of security enhancements, all of them supposed to keep users and their data on the safe side.
