I'm on XP at work. I get a new computer in January though and all the new ones have W7. I must have been one of the last people to get an XP computer here.

This OS is what, 12 years old now? Linux was on version 2.4.x when XP came out. OSX wasn't around yet, or was brand spanking new. I hate MS as much as anyone but that's still pretty impressive.

Technically each SP refreshed the code base and many other libraries are independent of the platform, which is why it has lasted so long.

SP3 was released late 2008, so it's "only" 5 years old.

I'm not a gamer so DX9 is fine, all the .net libraries work on it, it has NTFS support just as fine as W7 and W7 32-bit cannot support any more memory than XP can.

XP is just a way for me to launch programs, W7 is not going to launch them any better.

Just want to get two more years out of this.
