[Microsoft] Windows XP, go on son!
Windows XP is still the worst most used Windows operating system.
Windows 7 had a reasonable success rate, certainly better than Vistas' but computer users are going back to their roots, back to what they know and love, keeping it old school - choosing Windows XP as their operating system of choice.
Changing is a pain, lets face it, can you really be bothered switching or "upgrading" to a new operating system. Change means uncertainty, and a lot of people, especially businesses don't like change - they rely on certainty.
By this point you're looking at this article on mcompute and shouting loudly at your monitor, sure Windows 7 is "hip" and "modern", some might even go as far as to call it attractive, or even capable but all of that eye candy really isn't needed it's just a hog, slowing you down, pulling you back, restricting you!
Since the release of Windows 7, the install base of Windows XP has only dropped by 10%, lowering it to 60% over all.
Are we stuck in 2001?
