  Users desert Windows XP in near-record numbers
Time: 10:42 EST/15:42 GMT | News Source: ComputerWorld | Posted By: Robert Stein

Microsoft's Windows XP shed a large amount of usage share again last month as users continued to desert the decade-old operating system for Windows 7. Windows XP lost 2.4 percentage points of share to post a December average of 46.5%, a new low for the aged OS in the tracking of Web metrics firm Net Applications. The month's fall nearly matched the record 2.5-point drop of October. In the four months from September to December, XP jettisoned more than 11% of its share as of Sept. 1, falling by nearly six percentage points during the period. The four months prior to that -- May through August -- XP lost only 3.4 points, or about 8.5% of the share it owned as of May 1.
