Thanks Eric,

Are these perhaps those figures?

I'll send Brian a mail....

Also i found these stats
https://www.netmarketshare.com/operating-system-market-share.aspx?qprid=10&qpcustomd=0
Under Operating System Share > Desktop I found a few remarkable figures 
saying 10% is still running on XP in 2016!?
This still doesn't say anything about the actual hardware... I mean XP 
can run on a Core2Quad as well.
But lets say if 1% of all the people who are online would for instance 
still use a PIII That's still an awful lot of people. Except actual 
figures are hard to find.
When you ask google, then the results will most likely be biased to 
Android hardware, If you find figures cooked by microsoft then the 
picture is again out of balance.  So to avoid biased figures it would be 
good to find figures from a few sources independant from the industry.

In the past I have seen charts but for some strange reason i can't find 
much data on this in 2016. Not even from big G...
If anyone should be able to plot this chart it would be Google right? 
:-)
