But this netstat thing is only taking into account those computers with Internet usage. Would the amount of corporate, administration, financial... computers limited to intranet usage be long enough to modify this graphic?

I wouldn't be surprised if XP's share increased. Most of the desktops at a large healthcare company we had as a client were still running IE6.

If that is the case, Windows XP share will drop rapidly over the next few months. When MS ends support for XP it will no longer be in compliance with HIPPA.

Not all have to fulfill the hippa. For instance I know one of the greatest stores chain in my country that is still using win2k. Good OS by the way XD...
