Finally Windows 7 caught up. It's good.
I think, market shares would primarily consist of XP and 7 for a long time to come. Windows 8 looks no good for the masses. (Atleast till now).

@dashing.sujay: Many are dude.
Well, I forgot to mention that me too is still on XP. But, that's purely because of my age old hardware. So it's not by choice.

I used XP on my old laptop(256 meg RAM and it ran quite well) and PC until i got a new laptop with preloaded win7 this month. I love XP for its simplicity.

Its about time, XP was a good OS, I didn't even bother checking out Vista, but 7 is too good, it deserves the market share.

Because it was getting slow with time. Windows XP is not slow, its fast and actually loads apps faster than 7, old games run much better on XP than on 7. Not to mention the ease of use. My brother owns 2-3x better rig than me, still he prefers XP. Why? Because he wants simplicity, not fancy eye-candy aero.
