Windows XP Use Falling

Windows 8 the latest version, Microsoft to stop supporting XP soon

Maybe people are listening to Microsoft's demand that they ditch Windows XP.

According to metrics company Net Applications, Windows XP's user share plunged to 33.7% of all personal computers in August, a record-setting one-month fall of 3.5 percentage points.

When XP's share of only those PCs that are powered by Windows was calculated, the decline was slightly sharper, from 40.6% of all Windows systems in July to 36.9% in August, a drop of 3.7 percentage points.

I have one PC that still runs WinXP, and two on Win7.
Right now I can't use a PC with Win8 because it won't load IE7, 8, or 9, which my job's database system currently works with.

Maybe people are listening to Microsoft's demand that they ditch Windows XP.

Or, much more likely, MS didn't give them any choice in the matter. When was the last time you could buy a machine that ran XP?

In my opinion Xp was the greatest achievement of Microsoft. Following releases of Windows are just sooo heavyweight and clumsy!
