Flexible but a little unstable (and insecure, but the service packs helped with that), Windows XP was a decent Operating System.

Windows 7 is still one of the greatest OS of all time though, and I am going to stick with it (except for some older games that I run with XP Mode).

Been using since 2002, I'll switch to 7, when I get a new computer, but MS finally got Windows right with XP (2000 was good too).

I'm so glad i switched to Windows 7. I hated XP, bluescreen every 10 minutes.

I can't agree, for me XP was one of the most stable OS-es i used, and BSODs occured very occasionally. You must've been using weird hardware with very buggy kernel-mode drivers, that is the most common cause of kernel panics.
