The latest figures by analytic company Net Applications show that between June 2013 and July 2013 Windows XP grew its market share by 0.02%. While the growth is negligible and within margin of error of being negative it still demonstrates something important. Windows XP has held its market share incredibly strongly over the past few years and despite Microsoft’s hope that users of XP will all move to Windows 7 and Windows 8 by Windows XP’s retirement date in April 2014, this is not turning out to be the case.
Windows XP is nearly 12 years old and yet it remains as popular as ever with 37.19% market share, second only to Windows 7 which has 44.49% market share. Microsoft has tried to encourage both businesses and consumers that Windows XP is no longer a smart choice and that Windows 7 or 8 are the way to go. Yet we consistently see time and time again that no one appears to be listening and Windows XP is holding its market share considerably well.
This comes on the back of analysts commenting that they expect users will continue to use Windows XP well beyond its retirement date.
