One of my old laptops that I still have runs XP. I use it occasionally because it holds some files that I still need from it, mostly music. It's like my little big portable flash drive There's no need in updating it because we have better computers all over the house, and it'd be a waste to purchase a new key to update this old thing. But it was my first laptop, so it has nostalgia value for me that I can't throw away.

We have 9 working computers/lap tops in my house.
2 of them are in the basement one Macintosh from 1993 and a XP from 2003 both haven't been used in over five years. The other computer in the house that has Windows XP was originally a Windows 98 but got updated and the only reason it's still used in my house is because it has a special program my Dad uses. |

I have a 7-year-old computer in my office with Windows XP that I don't use as much anymore since I got a new laptop for Christmas, but my younger sister is now currently using it.
Though in the poll I voted that i wont ever update it, id more say that I dont have the ability to update since there is no reason to since we are thinking about getting rid of it once my sister gets her own laptop. But honestly, even after all of these years Windows XP on that computer works pretty decently and can load some programs pretty quickly (compared to the computers at my schools who even have Windows 7). |

XP was a glorious operating system. My whole family's moved on to 7, 8 and 8.1 long ago, but part of me wishes I was still on XP. It had a couple weird issues (.zip files say hello) but it was lightweight - if configured with minimal spyware, it could get down to something like 100MB of RAM, while 7 and 8 easily use 20X that out of the box - and was as about as graphically simple as you could be while still being a GUI.
For better or for worse, technology is flying as fast as possible in the opposite direction. I miss XP . . . |
