Windows XP is a great operating system. I don’t know why Microsoft even considered Vista.
Microsoft’s goal has always been to make money, not providing a pleasurable computing experience.
It was, I think, a half-arsed attempt to keep up with the promises they made much, much too early on in the development cycle. They should have fessed up and taken their lumps for breaking that promise rather than releasing Vista which, inasmuch as it is an improvement over XP in certain ways, is not the be-all/end-all improvement over XP that it should have been - it really should have been released as XP service pack 3.
Windows XP is pretty good but will be my last MS OS-—after it becomes hopelessly obsolete a few years down the road, I’m going to Linux.

I’ve had XP Pro on my XPS for 2-3 years and it has been solid as a rock, until the Firefox upgrade last week kept freezing it...just got the patch a couple days ago and we’re good again...never a day downtime...knock on silicone...I won’t upgrade until I have to...
I’ll never upgrade unless/until they finally quit fixing the bugs and holes in XP to force me to. And I’d go Linux in a heartbeat if it weren’t for all the neat stuff, mostly freeware, but also some very useful commercial software that I’ve bought that I don’t want to live without that is only available for Windows.
Fix that and we won’t have to wait for Google to finish Microsoft off.
They thought they could rake more $$$$$.
My thought as well. I am using xp right now on my tower. But, unfortunatley my laptop is Vista.....hate it! The next computer I buy will be apple I think.
