Is it because windows 11 sucks and cannot run your 2001 pc, or you feel nostalgia?
Why are you still using Windows XP in 2025?
- Thread starter OldSchoolPersuasive
- Start date
- Because it makes me feel at home.
- Because it's fast, reliable and reasonably devoid of useless frills
- Because it hasn't given me a BSOD in the last 11 years
- Because Microsoft's later progeny are steadily going from bad to worse
- Because I'm too lazy to switch to Linux
- Because it does only what I tell it to do
- Because it can be easily prevented from calling home
- Because...
It's a long, long, long list. Do you really want me to continue?

Just use the magic word 'please' and I'll comply. My son learnt that when he was three. And you?
Old school, you know...
Mainly because all I ever do on a computer is play games, and all the games I play on a daily basis only run on Windows XP. Games like GTA: Vice City, Midtown Madness, CSI: Miami, etc... For everything else I use my Apple iPad 2nd generation.
