Surprised by the Windows XP: The latest operating system market share statistics from NetMarketShare reveal a very spectacular rise last month.
Windows XP, the operating system which started about 16 years ago and has not received updates since April 2014, improved their market share by 1,28%, even though everyone advises users not to use them. 
Windows XP was one of the goals of WannaCry ransomware launched in May, and Microsoft decided to publish an update emergency to protect the users of the ancient operating system.
In conclusion, it turned out that the Windows 7 was much more vulnerable από τα Windows XP στις επιθέσεις με το WannaCry. Όμως όλα δείχνουν ότι παρ όλους τους κινδύνους που συνεπάγεται η προσκόλληση σε ένα 16ετο functional σύστημα, οι χρήστες δεν ενδιαφέρονται να κάνουν κάποια αναβάθμιση.
The data που δημοσίευσε το NetMarketShare αποκαλύπτουν ότι τα Windows XP βελτίωσαν το μερίδιό τους από 5,66% σε 6,94% τον περασμένο μήνα, καθιστώντας το λειτουργικό το τρίτο πιο χρησιμοποιούμενο λειτουργικό σύστημα υπολογιστών παγκοσμίως, μετά τα Windows 7 και τα Windows 10.
Windows 8,1 was very close to a percentage of 6,40%.
The most amazing thing is that Windows XP has been down for quite a few months quite normal as they are no longer supported by Microsoft. For example, in August of 2016, Windows XP was running on 9,36% of computers around the world. In May the percentage dropped from 7,04% to 5,66%.
No doubt, it will take more than expected for Windows XP to disappear from the market, despite Microsoft's warnings.
Perhaps Microsoft will finally be able to read the message (if it has not yet read) that there is a large percentage of the market that is most interested in protecting its privacy despite the new features of Windows 10.
