A recent poll by The Inquirer asked, "Which operating system will you use after Windows XP support ends on 8 April?"
Among respondents, 33 percent said they will move to Windows 7, 17 percent will stick with XP, 13 percent will switch to Linux, 11 percent will get Windows 8, and 5 percent said OS X.
So most will switch to Windows 7, but many would rather stay with Win XP without support than switch to Linux.

I switched to NT back then, but really should have switched to Linux. It took me another 10 years. I hope lots more take the opportunity now that it's (in my opinion) at least as usable as Windows 7 and more than Windows 8.
