I think a lot of people that were around me at that time didn’t upgrade from win2000 until the first service pack for XP came out. And this is considering that we could pirate the OS as easily as today.

Way back when it came out it definitely was. It stayed dominant for a few years after its release and more. At least it didn’t have telemetry data collection like the modern Windows OSes have.

Keep that sealed and well preserved, in a few years it will be a rarity.

XP was awesome. It had such a long shelf life too. Especially after the disaster launch of Vista that kapt most of us clinging to XP until 7 proved to be a worthy update. I love both XP and 7.

With service pack 3 and all background Microsoft visuals and codecs in place its good for playing older games nothing modern. If you build keep it offline otherwise they will come for you and give you all of the nasty malware you’ve ever wanted. Just by being online not even opening or doing anything.

Id prefer 7 but to each their own.
a long time ago it was the best now it is a piece of history
Wow. Such memories
You can play hl2 then go on msn chat to talk to some friends that you made in sl and gmod 9.
the only dropped final support (for XP POS) in 2019, bear witness to the last time microsoft achieved greatness
Dude, at least spring for Professional Edition.
I’ve been told that it’s the best…
no, it’s the best!!
I would prefer the Professional Edition being honest.
It’s not just good, it is perfection

Is? No… Was? Yeah
Ditch that. Get the Pro with Service Pack 3
GTA 6 will handle it!
I miss Windows 7
Well, it was better than WIN95.
No, it’s the best
