I’ll keep using XP until it crashes.. again.

I've still got several machines running Windows 2000. I can't find any reason to get rid of them especially considering they work fine with Win2K but are too slow for WinXP and I have quite a few legacy devices for which there is no support in Vista.

I like W2000. Ugh on Vista. I still have a 95 machine I never used, won’t support wireless unfortunately or I’d network it in..

To be fair to XP, I may have more browser issues than XP and a wireless router that just don’t mesh well occasionally and I have been to cheap to replace it.. ;-)

Same here. My husband and son both run XP, and complain constantly about the invasive updates and other "It's not a bug, it's a feature!" MS problems.

I was one of ten people in the country who got stuck with Windows ME, and the Vista story sounds very similar. Replace a working OS with a system that is so buggy and unstable, everyone will rally to the next OS, no questions asked. Windows ME was supposed to replace Win2000, but after five years, there was no support for ME at all. Then everyone went to XP (except for rebels like me, who went backwards to Win2000).
