Windows XP is one of the most loved editions of the Windows operating system to date, being extremely stable, and even granted a warrant to have its downgrade rights extended all the way to 2020. In fact, Windows XP’s successor, Vista, performed extremely badly, seeing how it took Windows 7 just 10 months to overtake Windows Vista in terms of market share – and with Windows 7 having a backbone that is based on Windows XP, that makes plenty of sense. More than a decade down the road, and Windows XP is still supported by Microsoft, commanding a highly respectable 46.52% of the global computing market, while Windows 7 has 36.99% of control when you compare those two side by side.
