At this stage, anyone still using XP is doing so because they have no other choice: either it's intrinsically tied to low-end hardware, or to some piece of critical software, and it's too expensive or time-consuming to replace. Often this includes "embedded" PCs in scientific equipment and the like.

We said this about IE6, but once major sites started dropping support, usage dropped to almost nothing fairly quickly.
