Windows XP's user share plunge not real, just a data adjustment

The Internet metrics company that claimed Windows XP's user share plummeted by a record amount last month said Tuesday that it had struck several Chinese websites from its tallies, causing the dramatic decline.

Net Applications argued that its estimates are now "more accurate."

The California company's data, which is widely used by the media to track the ups and downs of browsers and operating systems, had reported October's numbers on Saturday. According to its estimates, Windows XP's user share had plunged a record 6.7 percentage points last month, while Windows 8 had soared by 4.5 points, also a record.

Of course it isn't real. The only thing that will get me (and countless other "diehards") to abandon XP is XP 2nd Edition. They need to rewrite the "modern" kernel and remove (as in turn off completely) digital rights management when you're not playing music/video in order for performance to match XP...

But, don't get the wrong idea. I'm not against technology................................ when it actually moves forward...
