Just want to add, that Wikipedia article uses statcounter as the source. If you look at statcounter China is throwing off the data, it is running XP at 30%(!) Vs. USA @ 4.3%, UK @ 3.18%, France @ 4.8%, Australia+NZ @ 2.67-2.85%, Japan @ 3%, et al.

My point is, that 10% figure is misleading. China is higher, everyone else is lower.

Yeah though good luck finding a pure Chrome install in China anyway. Most of it runs this repackaged monstrosity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/360_Secure_Browser
Sure, XP usage might be lower than reported in these figures, but Vista will have a lower market share still.
