Still running XP?

<< < (22/22)

Lord of Fire:
I use XP because:
1) It works the way I want it to.
2) Stability. XP is quite stable on my comp. I remember using Windows 98 and experience a crash or BSOD at least once a month.
3) My comp's age. it's almost 5 years old and by far not capable enough of running something like Vista

I intend on buying a new comp by the end of the year. And I'll probably take Windows 7 with it, as that should be out by the time I do so.

rl9009:
I'm still running XP on a few netbooks I have. Most of my machines at home are either running Windows 7 or Vista.

However sadly, the server counterpart for the machines was never upgraded to the Vista (or Server 2008). The reason I'm staying with Windows Server 2003 is that it just runs perfectly on an Intel Atom 330 without too much issues and it doesn't really lag considering the server is used as a Lightweight Active Directory DC and Routing.

Server 2003's code was just small and efficient: A clean install of Server 2003 will take approximately 2 to 3 GB of disk space. A core installation of Server 2008 or Server 2008 R2 will require twice as much of disk space.
