It's almost 2011 now. Why do people still use XP on their powerful monsters?
I have an old computer (Pentium 4@ 1.5GHz Overclocked to 1.8 GHz, with on board graphics, and just 256MB of DDR1 RAM, don't want to upgrade hardware because I'm poor and unemployed) and I have a reason to use XP, but I've seen people with super configurations and 8 GB+ RAM use XP64. Why? I thought Windows 7 looks much better than XP (even after installing 3rd party themes on XP), is more secure than XP (at least microsoft claims this), is faster or at par with XP in most operations (google search about XP vs Win7 benchmarks reveals this), and can run almost all of XP software.
Just curious
