Chinese XP users won't let go: poll

23,454 people said they will continue using the Windows XP system, far outnumbering the 6,889 who said will turn to new systems, a poll by Sino Weibo, a Chinese social networking site, has shown, up to 10am on Tuesday. Some said XP can well satisfy their need for home office use and entertainment.

After 12 years, support for Windows XP will end on April 8, 2014, Microsoft said in a proclamation on its website. There will be no more security updates or technical support for the Windows XP operating system, it added.
