And still being used

Today is the 20th anniversary of Windows XP, and although the operating system reached the end of support in 2014 it is still being used, despite shedloads of warnings.

For those with long memories, Windows XP was released on October 25, 2001, and is considered one of the most loved versions of Windows due to its ease of use, fast performance, and stability.

Even after Microsoft has released Windows 7, 8, 10, and 11, a small but respectable number of people are still using the old operating system.

According to StatCounter, the percentage of Windows users using the XP version of the OS in September 2021 is 0.59 percent, a significant number when you consider how many Windows systems are deployed worldwide.
