First of all, thank you to everybody for your responses to our last blog post about whether you are still using Windows XP. We had over 30 responses and we have summarized the results below:

Out of the all the responses, from the people who mentioned which Operating System they were using:

18 Said they were using Windows XP still.

3 Said they were using Windows Vista.

3 Said they were using Windows 7.

So 75% of people who responded about the Operating System they were using said they were using Windows XP. We find this pretty surprising but when looking at the reasons why it does make sense. Most people who responded said that they would like to upgrade to Windows 7 but they have not done so because the cost of buying the software is too expensive and they would rather wait till they get a new computer and get Windows 7 with it. A few people mentioned that if it ain’t broke then why fix it! These are good reasons and we understand where you are coming from, with the price of computers getting cheaper and cheaper it makes more sense to upgrade your entire PC than upgrade your operating system.

We decided to do some research on the visitors coming to our site and what Operating System they are using. We took data collected anonymously from Google Analytics and the results were quite interesting. Below is a table of the percentage of out total website visitors that are using each of the last three Operating Systems broken down by month:

As you can see Windows XP dominates the majority the traffic coming to our website but the percentage is shrinking each month; a reason would be reduced or defunct backlinks to the website. It also looks like the reduction in in the amount of users running Windows XP is due to the increase in users of Windows 7. Below is another table that shows the percentage change for the amount of people using each Operating System over the 5 month period:

As you can see here the amount of Windows 7 users has nearly doubled showing that people are adopting the new version of Windows at quite a rapid rate. Windows 7 was released in October, it will be interesting to see what percentage of our traffic will be from Windows 7 users on the 1 year anniversary…. you will need to stay tuned for that.

Those people who are stuck with Windows XP for the time being until they upgrade, try scanning your PC for errors with Registry Reviver. Doing so can find the cause for a number problems that result in poor computer performance and crashes
