Hi Shaun, While I tend to agree with you for the most part I do also see why some people are using XP. I recently purchased a used notebook with XP on it for the primary reason there are games and some other programs I have that won't run on Windows 7 or Windows 8. Therefore rather than running a virtual machine I chose to buy and setup a dedicated XP machine for that. So can sympathize to some point with the XP users.
Bottom line, though, people who have XP probably don't want to move away from it because they are familiar with the user interface, have programs that aren't compatible with a newer system, and as Dark is often quick to point out there isn't anything in the newer Windows he wants. So refuses to upgrade until there is some personal benefit. The main difference between them and me is they chose to use XP exclusively where I am only using it on a multimedia computer. I'm no longer using XP for the web,e-mail, office, or anything else of that sort. Mainly games, music, movies, etc. I would suggest that those who are adamant about XP do the same, but I also realize it costs money plus a desire to own the new to make that transition. I'm through talking to those people because no amount of words will talk them into upgrading. Cheers!
