Does anyone still run XP?

I was just curious to see if any one still ran XP? If they do i strongly advise them to upgrade to either vista or the new Windows 7.

thanks for the comments.

Nick:)

On the two others mainly because of performance issues, however since those are used for Multimedia/Radio streaming/Mediacenter it wouldn't make the big difference upgrading those; ▶ Reply to This

I hate vista with a passion, and I think I'll hold out on windows 7 till i can get a machine to test it on. There are just to many irritating bugs about vista, especially on a Windows Domain. Plus I have way to much software that is incompatable with vista, mainly at work.; ▶ Reply to This

I've given it the benefit of the doubt and even tried it again after SP1 and still found it crap for my needs. I won't upgrade to Vista or Windows 7, I'll upgrade to Mac OS X next. As soon as I have the money I'm moving away from Windows as my main OS for good.; ▶ Reply to This

Why?

Well, XP is such a mainstream operating system (even more so than Win98 and 2000), that vendors have no choice but to support XP for at least three or four more years, and after witnessing a friend try to upgrade to Vista on his computer (he has the same exact machine as I do, even the same GPU and sound card) and not getting any sound and having a sketchy picture and graphics, I will more then likely be using my XP rig for school work and what not until the day it dies, and if I absolutely need to switch to a new computer, I'll more than likely build a new Windows 7 rig.; ▶ Reply to This

I do use Vista at home, the 32 bit version and will be upgrading to the 64 bit version soon. I will aslo upgrade to Windows 7 as soon as its available.; ▶ Reply to This

Besides, not all of us can afford to make changes. I don't think my laptop has room on it to do much more. Plus I would have to pay someone to help me make any changes. So I will remain content with what I have.; ▶ Reply to This
