Windows XP continues to shed market share but still won't give up its crown as the most used operating system.

My Dad still uses it and he says that once XP gets outdated then he will upgrade.

Windows XP is still one of the most popular Operating Systems worldwide since so much people prefers it for ease of use. It's pretty much outdated when it comes to security so most companies dumps Windows XP.

Yes, but there are still companies that still use it. I still have a copy of it but, once security patches stop being produced I will dump it.

I still have a copy of it sitting around here somewhere, Some of my customers opts in for Windows XP so I just give them what they want since I'm not gonna force them into using something that's not of their preference.

Not everyone would change to XP for modern OS like Vista and Win 7, just slow process on decreasing the usage and that time will come XP is really dead.

But at the certain time its still an active OS.

Our 5 years old laptop runs Windows XP, I wanted to upgrade it to Vista but it was not supported by it.

It's just too bad to see that support for this Operating System will soon go out.

As long XP is still exist, we need to enjoy that applications were still compatible to XP. As in the future all application will be compatible to Vista up to the present one.

Windows XP still played a huge part with what we have right now so it's one unforgettable Operating System.
