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 still a positive change nonetheless. If these are actually new copies of Windows XP, then I'm quite surprised that Microsoft hasn't stopped allowing new activations yet.

I don't think you understand what "in the noise" means.
