Last I checked, Windows XP had about 1/3rd share and Windows 8 and 8.1 combined had less than 4%.

Expect that to change rapidly, given that Microsoft has just officially announced the end of life for Windows XP.

There is now an enterprise benefit to moving directly to Windows 8.1, since Microsoft will support it for longer than Windows 7.
