When will XP no longer be in wide use?

After everyone moves onto other operating systems. It could a year, it could be 10 years.

Hmmm. I know Windows 2000 is rarely used so it could be within 3 years. I still like XP though. Is Vista better?

Actually, there still many corporations still using Windows 2000 today. You'd be surprised how many places are still using Windows 2000.

I love Windows 2000 Professional. Either it or Windows 95 is my favorite Windows OS.

Windows 95 was fun. I remember playing some of the games off the Win95 CD like Hover and watching that Weezer music video.

I"ve never used 2000. I had Windows 98 for a long time until it slowed down

We were actually running Windows 98 SE until July 2005 when we then got a new PC with XP.

My 98 system took like 5 minutes to view the pages so we had to get rid of it

I'm not sure if it was an option for Windows 95, or if it was just some piece of extra software that came with our PB, but it was a kid-friendly version of Windows called "Kiddows". Very fun.

We were actually early with our first XP computer. We bought our HP in late 2002, but didn't set it up until about 2 months later. Until then, we were running Windows 95.
