    Hello, how are you all, I used windows xp a long time ago and what can I tell you, hehe, the solidity and stability of a system as incredible as this one is incredible, hehe, it hurts that Microsoft will remove the support and even if it has the posready 2009 updates, maybe soon if it really is forgotten that nostalgia heheo_O

    Hi there, windows xp is/was a stable operating system, but unfortunately it doesn't meet today's needs in terms of security, new features, hardware compatibility, etc.

    I don't miss it, I used it about a year back and it felt waaay outdated and out of place.

    Even though Windows XP Professional SP3 32-bit has integrated updates to May 2019 and integrated drivers and extras to March 2021, it's still very outdated.
    Very few up-to-date browsers will install and work in it, and the vast majority of up-to-date security apps and other apps will not install and work in it.
    I use it for testing purposes only, so I'm able to see it get more outdated and more unsecure as time goes by.

    I use it on VMware to do some software test and it's a good experience, although the UI is not very pretty

    I remember it somewhat fondly, although I don't miss it. I have the Bliss green hills image as my wallpaper, as well as all the other XP wallpapers. Somebody on Deviantart found the original hi res photos and put together a full pack of every Windows 98, 2000, XP, etc wallpaper in hi res, it's pretty sweet.

    Also, for nostalgia:

    Of course I miss Windows XP; but unfortunately, Microsoft can't lose its focus on the future!
