That XP figure is extraordinary given that XP came on the market in 1999 (perhaps)?

People tend not to notice the version of the operating system, so the concept of upgrading never occurs to them.
You stick with the operating system that came with your hardware.
I'm currently working at a very large international corporation, and we are still running Windows XP. It's mostly a matter of accounting: it costs millions to upgrade beyond XP. What the bean counters don't account for is the improved boot times, security and other features.
