Windows 8 and 8.1 surpasses 10% market share as Windows XP falls

Microsoft may be able to breathe a little less heavy now, with news Windows 8 and 8.1 has passed the 10% milestone and Windows XP is starting to die down, with the disgruntled users of XP moving to Windows 8 or Windows 7 in droves.
Windows 8.1 seems to have helped the new operating system out a little, where Windows 8 was a stark change by Microsoft, Windows 8.1 is trying to dumb down the change and better integrate Windows 7 users, who want the legacy desktop and start button.
Windows XP, on the other side, is becoming less used, with under 30% of all Windows users actually still running the OS. This is still almost a third of all Windows users, an incredible amount of an operating system that has not appeared on new laptops since 2006.
