Why are you still rocking XP? I'm genuinely curious. I used XP on my old AMD dual-core 1.2MHz until about 5 years ago. Guess what? I managed to install Windows 10 on it! There were a few hiccups with the graphics card, but I worked around it by disabling certain security features to install the drivers. It actually runs pretty smoothly! Aahha

I despise MicroSloth products and will only use them when there is some program I need that only runs on Windoze. I have 95, NT, XP, 7, 8.2 and 10 that I will put into use. I still have a machine from 2000 that runs XP (It has 2 DVD writers and 3.5” floppy drive on it) to use for legacy stuff.
Other than that, my main machines have some version of Linux on them. I have been using Solaris, Linux and AIX since ‘95. I actually started with Unix on Sun servers, the old pizza box servers.
The machine with WinXP dual boots to Red Hat, Ubuntu or WinXP.
