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.

But what that actually shows is despite all Microsoft's efforts XP still stubbornly refuses to lose market share. A net gain of 0.06%, though indeed at the noise level, might even actually translate to a gain of installed systems in absolute terms.
