I'm willing to bet a large number of XP users stole the OS in the first place and would not be paying Microsoft for support. Not that providing them support would matter anyway.
As for the people that did pay for it...they probably don't have the budget to upgrade, let alone pay for support.
- ams6110 13y agoI think you're half right. I'd bet most XP users are using XP because it's the OS their computer came with. I do agree with you that most of them would not pay even $1/month for continued support.
