I bet the small rise of XP users are from people who bought used computer on eBay, and Craigslist during the holidays. Used XP computers are cheaper than used Windows 7 computers. There are also fewer used Windows 8-8.1 computer for sale because Windows 8 is not very old.
It is also very easy to pirate XP which is popular in places like China where most of the internet population use pirated or cheaper version of XP.
I'm surprise there are still so many XP computers running since most XP computers are probably now almost 10 years old because Windows XP is almost 13 years old. I think this prove that computers last a long time when properly maintained by cleaning out dust from inside the case, using a surge protected power bar, and turning a PC off when users are not using it.
Also, I notice computers made during the Windows XP years seem to be more high quality compared to 7 to 8 computers which are cheaply made to sell for very low prices while still making a small profit. I owned 2 computers designed to work for XP, and they still work today.
