That's because it's the only thing thats free about windows.

XP is acceptable, not a panacea of genius as KS/WB was compared to Windows v1/8086 in 1985.

7 is a service pack for Vista with GUI downgrade.

Truth is today Windows, ?buntu AND OSX are nothing special. Third party apps is their only saving grace

As for security......not using things that grind my XP install to snail's pace like Norton hasn't killed my XP SP2 in 6 years so who cares.

As it is not supported anymore. You can go right ahead, I hope you like your screen door Internet security that XP has.

Not true.  They still do security updates on it.  Win7x64 is great but there are still issues with drivers for some of my legacy hardware, which is why I still use XP in dual boot.

I actually like WinXP+SP3. By far my favorite non amiga based OS. Its pretty light (in modern terms), and works nicely.
My main gripe is the artificial restriction to DX9.1.
Would be the ultimate media centre OS otherwise, especially after its stripped back some. I reluctantly upgraded to Tiny Vista for my media centre box when I bought my gf gtx570. Thankfully though I make a point of keeping my mediacentre machine offline.
