[Microsoft] Windows XP, go on son!
Windows XP is still the worst most used Windows operating system.
Windows 7 had a reasonable success rate, certainly better than Vistas' but computer users are going back to their roots, back to what they know and love, keeping it old school - choosing Windows XP as their operating system of choice.
Changing is a pain, lets face it, can you really be bothered switching or "upgrading" to a new operating system. Change means uncertainty, and a lot of people, especially businesses don't like change - they rely on certainty.
By this point you're looking at this article on mcompute and shouting loudly at your monitor, sure Windows 7 is "hip" and "modern", some might even go as far as to call it attractive, or even capable but all of that eye candy really isn't needed it's just a hog, slowing you down, pulling you back, restricting you!
Since the release of Windows 7, the install base of Windows XP has only dropped by 10%, lowering it to 60% over all.
Are we stuck in 2001?
If i have to use Windows, i go for XP. *Maybe* Windows 7 when they sort their drivers out.
I still like my XP. Works fine. Why fix it if it isn't broken?
Though, if I do get a new PC (if I can be arsed..) it'd probably get 7 on it
They see me trollin', they hatin'.
I did have Linux at one point, but I was forever customising it, and not doing work
They see me trollin', they hatin'.
That's the beauty of Linux! Embrace and feel a new warmth inside you. :roll
dont scorn me but at the moment i am on vista :'( but i intend on upgrading to XP
I dont like 7.
Im an XP power user, but on 7 im mostly lost cause theyve attempted to make it more Mac-like

I do really dig a few flavours of linux, especially ubuntu these days, but I have been unsuccessful in getting 4 monitors to work with it and am not willing to put forth the effort since I do most of my coding etc on a windows box. Oh and I work on them for a living so I require a more than casual intimacy.
