    Calm down, XP was 13 years old when it was retired. It lived a long, happy life. And Windows 7 was released seventeen years ago.

    Using either OS in 2026 is extremely dangerous and stupid. Please switch to Linux.

    I run all my systems on XP and 7. I don't like all this techno AI bullshit.

    my whole work laptop is from 2002 and runs XP just fine!

    ew gross!

    isn't linix one of those things hackers use?

    besides, Win10 got rid of my computer and hid control panel. it's a garbage OS that can't even run DOS properly.

    XP sp2 is peak performance!

    Hackers do use Linux, but only Kali Linux. And Tor browser.

    Windows 10 is more secure because they added security (to stop the hackers). And epic OneDrive login so all your files can sink.

    I don't need onedrive, I have My Briefcase.

    I also have a really secure password on my XP install so no hackers can get in.

    /s stands for sarcasm, which is what I think you wanted to say.

    Because its really hard to expect anyone to understand if you are joking or not in text form.

    ok, I can't keep stringing you along because I feel like you're literally not getting the sarcasm.

    yes, it was sarcasm.

    no, I didn't forget it.

    still don't understand? read the meme.
