The Register is reporting that the market share for the elderly OS's are on the increase.

Whatever Microsoft is doing to get punters adopting Windows 8.x isn't working, at least if the latest figures from Netmarketshare showing its older operating systems growing faster than its latest progeny are any guide.

We've now tracked Netmarketshare's data for nine months and as the table shows, Windows 7 has enjoyed steady growth over that period. Windows XP has also had its moments, as it did between May and June 2014 when it accounted for 0.06 per cent more of the operating systems Netmarketshare detected with its methodology of digging through web server logs.

    To paraphrase Steve Ballmer: drivers, drivers, drives!

    That dude definitely snorted/smoked some coke before he did that developers speech. He was already sweating when he came out on stage, a sign of coke use. Doesn't mean he was on coke, but I'll be damned if he wasn't.

      You are the first one that's ever given him any kind of benefit of the doubt in this regard. Almost everyone who that topic has sneaked into discussion with has said to me that he had to be high off his mind on something. This puts you somewhere between decent human being and microsoft apologist. It's definitely one of those. I'm sure of it.
