Wow. WIndows XP. What a beast that it's still north of 30%. Too lazy but when was it released and/or when was it replaced? I feel like it was superseded all the way back in 2007 or so?
- zanny 13y agoXP was good enough. Until it is no longer good enough for what people use it for (Microsoft Office environment or an email client) it won't be replaced. I just hope we can see some congergence in either the ChromeOS or Linux Desktop space to see those eventual switches be to alternate platforms to remove the MS stranglehold.
- jaredsohn 13y agoXP was released in 2001. It was officially superseded by Vista in 2007 and arguably really superseded within the Windows universe in 2009 when Windows 7 came out.
- jetti 13y agoI would venture that the majority of computers that run Windows XP are either people who don't use their computers a lot so that it wouldn't matter or companies. Seeing as Windows XP SP 3 is still supported through 2014 [1], businesses have no real reason to upgrade since it would be an added cost.
