Vista's market share (1.77%) is a fraction of XP's (9.03%), so it's not that weird to drop support for it as well. Reference: ttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usag

- Someone1234 11y agoJust want to add, that Wikipedia article uses statcounter as the source. If you look at statcounter China is throwing off the data, it is running XP at 30%(!) Vs. USA @ 4.3%, UK @ 3.18%, France @ 4.8%, Australia+NZ @ 2.67-2.85%, Japan @ 3%, et al. My point is, that 10% figure is misleading. China is higher, everyone else is lower.
- Macuyiko 11y agoYeah though good luck finding a pure Chrome install in China anyway. Most of it runs this repackaged monstrosity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/360_Secure_Browser https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/360_Secure_Browser
- praseodym 11y agoSure, XP usage might be lower than reported in these figures, but Vista will have a lower market share still.
