Talk about the bleedingly obvious. The larger the company, the longer it takes to move to the next operating system. There are plenty of large multi-national companies that are still running on XP.
Most tech reviewers in the media seem to consist of media-studies graduates who believe that the ability to switch on an iPad is sufficient qualification to write about IT issues.
MS simply had to move forward to accommodate touch surfaces. However, unlike Apple they don't force you to upgrade or perish. They are still providing security updates for XP, after all, while you will be hard pressed to find someone who will even recall the name of the OS that was used by Apple at the time of XP's release.
