out of curiosity, been running XP since it came and haven't switched

My old computer still does. I like it more then anything else. It's the computer I play my dinosaur games on, Fallout 1/2, all id software games etc.

Yes, the 64 bit version, but I'm switching to Windows 7 soon. I can probably get a W7 copy for around 60 euros.

I'm still running XP, and I really see no need to upgrade for $100.

There are 4 PCs (two desktops, two laptops) in this house running XP, purely for cost reasons. They are all general-use PCs and as such have no reason to be upgraded. That said, one will probably go bye-bye within this year.

There are 8 PCs (seven desktops, one netbook) at work running XP. Of those two are mission-critical. One will be scrapped in the upcoming 3-4 months, One is a long-term life machine, which I have enough spare parts to keep it running even after multiple failures. One I have no plans on seeing upgraded so long as the software used supports XP. One is marked as mid-priority in upgrading (three Vista machines I would rather see upgraded before it just because they are complete rubbish, all of which cannot support more than 2 GB of RAM, one only supporting 1 GB) and the final desktop is of low-priority for upgrade, as it is mostly a spare, only seeing regular use 3 days a week. The netbook isn't going to be upgraded any time soon, even though it is the bane of my existence.

Yep, I still use XP, and will continue to do so until I can be bothered paying for W7.

I have a 32bit XP, a 32bit Vista and a 64bit Win7 in my house. There's also one running win98 but nobody uses that.


The only real problem I have is trying to find 64bit versions of common 32bit programs. I must admit I wouldn't pay to upgrade unless the computer came with the newer OS.

I'm still using XP, I don't have any problems upgrading to 7 eventually but I also don't see a reason to rush . . . . eventually I'll run in to something that requires it or I'll get a new computer.

exactly my brother has a w7, but i prefer my XP. I have no need to change.

Both of my computers run on XP and I won't change unless there is a real need to do so.

Our old computer has XP, no need to upgrade since it's just surfing the net for the kids. I have a laptop. I bought it because while originally it had Vista on it, I got the upgrade for free. Wifes laptop has Windows 7 as well.

Still using XP here and will until I get a new computer. Starting tomorrow, I'll be dual-booting Ubuntu and XP.

I have it installed... on a disk I actually pulled out the last week so I could squeeze a new one in, which I installed http://www.archlinux.org/ on :hehe: (and I'm running Fedora right now, since I haven't finished setting everything up in Arch for a smooth transition). I haven't booted it in months, either . Too much bother when most of my games work okay with Wine, and all my bookmarks and other files are on ext partitions (so I'd have to reboot, again, to do almost anything other than play games).

I have 5 PCs that are running Windows in my house. 3 on Windows 7 SP1, 1 on Vista SP2 and 1 on XP SP3. The XP machine really isnt that powerful so its never used. In my Computer Technician/anolyst class (which just got me my A+ certification, yay) we just upgraded about 60PCs to Windows 7 from XP. I must say I really prefer Windows 7 over XP.

Ohi! Yeah, I still run XP. When I build my "super-computer" next year for Advanced Electronics 1 it will be running 64-bit 7, and I'll keep this PC as a backup or give it to my mom since hers broke. Nonetheless, this one is still gonna be taken care of, it's from a friend and so I won't let it become a dust collector. (Waves to uncle fuzzy)

I'm still running it... I'd like to upgrade to Windows 7 soon, despite once wanting to wait for Windows 8, because this 32-bit XP is really getting on my nerves. But as a college student looking for a job, the day I have enough luxury money to afford the Windows 7 version I want is a looong ways off.

No point in switching to W7 so I am still running XP on this computer.

Yep, but only for about a week and a half more until I get my new computer.

I was, until a couple weeks ago. Now I have Windows 7.

I haven't had XP for over a year. I installed Windows 7 when it was available for free before release. (RC or beta version, I forgot)


Not necessary. 32-bit programs run just fine in 64-bit OS. (most games are still 32-bit)

My computer's 5 years old... Windows 7 would be wasted on it (except for my 64-bit X2 CPU which is wasted on XP... Oh well, can't win them all.) It's still chugging away just fine, and when it's finally time to ditch this one for a glistening new piece of hardware (in a couple years, hopefully), Windows 8 may indeed be out.

Windows XP master race reporting in.

Who were later swamped with and ruled by communists.

Meaning Linux will overtake you.

Bring it, punk.

I'm Captain Capitalism. I sell software keys to unlock the opportunity to purchase software keys to the software that you still need to purchase. MWAAHAHAHAHA!

I used to quintuple-boot XP, Vista, Windows 7, Ubuntu and OSX, but now I just run W7.

I hate XP now, I only ever run it as a virtual machine for networking practice, but I honestly try to use command-line-only Linux than XPs clunky interface.
