“Windows XP scored nearly 44 percent in a poll of which desktops

the “other” category.

“Microsoft had a difficult time weaning any users away from
Windows XP onto the much-hated Vista system, but Windows 7 was
supposed to make up for lost time. In this non-statistical sample
of eWEEK Europe’s readers, it doesn’t look like it has
succeeded.”
