Why does Windows XP refuse to die?
,----[ Quote ]
| A new poll into Operating System popularity
| by a British computer magazine has revealed
| that an incredible 37 percent of respondents
| are still using Windows XP. That's more than
| Windows 7 which managed to woo 30 percent of
| the folk taking part, and Vista could only
| garner a pretty poor 16 percent of support.
| This being a PC magazine it should come as no
| great surprise to see Linux being used by 8
| percent of respondents and Mac OS by 7
| percent.
