I have exercised the demons! This house is clear.

(Transl.: I have just eradicated this family's last XP install)

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Booo, XP is the baus.

XP was okay, but now it needs someone to push a pillow over its face.

XP was never ok.

I'm not sure that's fair.

It was okay once SP2 happened to it.

Still got SP3 on all my PCs

Xubuntu here

And W7 Starter on the netbook (which I don't use because I have sausage-fingers)

I suffer XP SP3 everyday at work.
It makes me want to hit things.
Well, no, ok, if I treat it like an awkward, uh, differently able 14 year old work experience child who's got a passing acquaintance with what it is that I do, then we can more or less get along.
But God knows it doesn't make it easy.

Me and SP3 go way back, it knows what I want before I even know myself.

It does desktop wallpapers, and opens folders.

VLC, foobar and Google Chrome do the rest.

With mentions for Skype and last.fm. boo ya.

I don't really "use" operating systems. I mostly "use" applications.

All the apps I need at home work on XP. I only have XP and various Linux things on servers and gizmos. The only reason I'm thinking of spending massive amounts of cash on a copy of 7 is because I'm hoping Skyrim might crash less often with a 64 bit OS. If I could run Steam on Ubuntu I would. It's been a long time in the making though; rumours abounded in 2008...

I love XP+SP3 too. Awesome. The only thing that I miss from Win7 is when it docks an item to half the screen so you can have two things open side by side.

lol I really don't miss that. In fact, I've been trying to turn it off at work for months

I can see the point of it but there are times when it just fundamentally cocks up my Qi

+1 I never like XP. I went from Windows 2000 to Linux, to OS X to Vista, then Windows 7.

I had an XP machine, but it was never a machine I wanted to use, it was just there for the couple of apps I couldn't run under Linux (a couple of games and MS Office for reformatting documents from OpenOffice, before sending them out.

For those of you not following my Twitter feed (that's everyone here except one lol) I very recently had this wonderful experience:

"Man from Tesco, he deliver badgers and food from great Ken Hom punctually without substitution! Good this is. Eat and drink we will!"

The fact that a grocery delivery without error or substitution was worth tweeting about kinda says a lot, but hey - I have a party delivered to my door and ready to rumble

Although, I really need a bigger fridge. Gonna have to take half of it to work and use theirs
