It just reflects the fact that a lot of businesses would rather stick with what works (WinXP) even if it's unsupported and wildly insecure.

A lot of professional offices and production outfits are still using WinXP because their business-critical application and software was never updated and released for later versions of Windows.

Still running XP, but some web sites are freezing me out because of it. Notably Walmart and Aetna’s medical insurance. Their loss. I just buy more from Amazon, and make Aetna’s phone support people work harder.

Yes, I thought Windows XP was the most reasonably stable iteration of Windows up to that point, and popular because of it.
