The 12-year old Windows XP increased its market share again in February, according to the latest operating system data from Net Applications, which also shows Windows 8.1 adoption is stalling



From Neowin:

With less than 40 days before Microsoft pulls the plug on supporting Windows XP, the 12-year old operating system seems to actually be gaining a few more users. That's according to the data collected by Net Applications, which shows that Windows XP had a market share of 29.53 percent for the month of February.

That number is up compared to January 2014, when Windows XP had 29.30 percent of the OS share. It's becoming clear that Microsoft's attempts and pleas to get people and businesses to stop using XP won't be enough to reduce its worldwide percentage substantially by the support deadline of April 8th.
