(ECNS) -- Apple's CEO Tim Cook on Monday poked at Microsoft for the low numbers of PC users adopting Windows 8.
In his keynote speech that kicked off Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) 2014 in San Francisco, Cook said 51 percent of Mac users are on OS X Mavericks, while just 14 percent of Windows users have switched to Windows 8.
Industry experts have pointed out that the high cost of upgrading is a major reason why many PC users choose not to install Windows 8.
According to newly released figures by Net Applications, a web analytics firm, Windows 8 ranked fourth in terms of user adoption in May, down to 6.29 percent from 6.36 percent in April. The top three operating systems were Windows 7, Windows XP and Windows 8.1, with 50.06, 25.27 and 6.35 percent usage share respectively.
The figures also show 90.99 percent of PC users are on Windows, while Mac OS X has a market share of 7.39 percent.
