Tom's Hardware reports on an Avast Antivirus study which found that ~24% of their customers still used XP, and of those, 27% didn't plan to upgrade.

Meanwhile, Microsoft has cut the price of XP patches by as much as 95% for those corporations and governments that haven't yet moved on. The model now seems to be a "new ceiling is $250,000, according to several sources, although the $200-per-device price remained in place." That ceiling is down from $5 million just a few weeks ago. Those patches, by the way, are not available for the general public.
