Your going to call me an idiot I like most of the features Microsoft removed in vista and then 7, I also have no way of modding the taskbar or the turn off/on menu or any of the other components,also I hate how pinning icons works differently when you open a window, I've seen tutorials about how to make it look more like xp but it just doesn't do the trick, I know there has been performance increases and whatnot, but I also dont want to upgrade because It would take moths just to get it to look like my desktop is right now and its not like upgrading keeps all the programs you've installed and all your files in the same place,most just make an oldfiles or XPsp3 folder and shove everything in there,also It would slow down my comp allot newer OS require more ram(or newer ram DDR3,DDR4) and newer processors to not take a toll on your build.
I don't have 200 or 400 dollars just to upgrade my computer and I would not loving buy a new one, I already have too much stuff on this one, mostly games.
That made absolutely no sense at all.
Also, just because it's your choice to stay with 11 year old technology, doesn't mean that you should force it on other people. It's not a good idea to stick with XP.
Also, with computers from as far back as 2003, I have installed Windows 7 and found even a dramatic speed up from Windows XP Pro. This is on like, a 1.8GHz AMD Athlon Venice, 512mb RAM and a simple GeForce 6200.
