According to this article, almost 66% of all Windows users are still on Windows XP. I hear this statistic repeated all the time but I just don’t see this as the case among computer enthusiasts. It makes you wonder how and where this data was collected:
Just FYI, our data shows that you guys prefer the opposite. Windows XP is at 27%, Windows 7 is 61% and all other versions (including Vista) are at 11%.
New market share data recently released by Net Applications puts XP’s market share at 60.03%, down from 60.89% in the month before. Windows Vista fell from 14.00% to 13.35%, while Windows 7 gained 1.25 points to 17.10%. It is interesting to see that Vista and XP lost a combined 1.51 points in September: The difference between the gain of 7 and the loss of Vista/XP represents 100% of the Windows market share loss, which was down 0.25 points to 91.08% in September.
