Do you think it is okay for people to still use Windows XP? I do. Windows XP is a great operating system and it must be hard for people to give it up, but sooner or later a lot of people will still be using Windows 7 when Windows 8 comes out for the same reason. Or a matter of fact other reasons. What do you guys think?
 
To each his own. If they want to stay on XP, let them. They're choice in operating system doesn't affect me in the slightest.
 
I agree. I assure you lots of people will still be using XP for a really really long time. Some people may use XP forever and ever. Who knows? There may be a new computer brand that comes out and that might attract XP users.
 
I wouldn't care if somebody was running XP, Linux or anything else. All I care about is the WIN8 on my desktop and how cool it is 🙂
 
Lots of people run Macs, and the plain users still use XP no matter how un compatible it gets.
 
Windows XP is a great operating system for older computers, and if you are careful, and have a good firewall, antivirus, antispyware, and use common sense it can be a secure operating system.
 
I agree. XP is a great operating system and even if it still can't do much people are still very much attracted to it although I suggest Windows 7 to everyone, plain user or not.
 
Same for me as long as their computer can handle Windows 7 smoothly by having at least 2GB of RAM, a 2 GHz multi-core CPU, and enough hard drive space for it.
 
Lots of people who have old computers, and a matter of fact a little bit worse computers run XP like you mentioned. XP runs smooth on most computers if they have 2GB+ of RAM which I doubt any XP user would have, but you get the idea. 😉
 
Pfft.. it's better using any operating system then a Mac, but lets not even go on about that.
 
Haha right I could say a lot but I'll keep it to myself cuz I don't wanna make Mac Addicts mad. I repped you for that comment!
 
I use Windows XP the most and do not plan on upgrading for quite some time. That said if I end up buying a new laptop and that runs an upgraded OS then I won't waste my time downgrading. xD
 
I still use windows xp but only because I can't afford windows 7 at the moment 🙁
 
The second best Windows OS in my opinion, second to W7.

Yes, it's way better to be using Windows XP than a Mac!
made my day 😉

@Topic:
I´m still using Windows XP beside W7 for a few games.
Official Windows XP Support ends in April 2014.
 
Thanks for the info Don. Gonna plus one you for that. XP would be a great operating system still, but it's losing it's compatibility over the days.
 
I use XP. It's great, a clean, easy to use interface, and a secure operating system.
