    I hate XP these days.

    Microsoft doesn't remake past operating systems. The closest thing that you would be asking for is a new operating system where the only thing that's the same as Windows XP is how it looks.

    I personally would love to have a windows xp second edition. I love the windows xp user interface, everything about it. Also your Enterprise consumers use Windows XP and are holding on to it because their software is dependent on it. Home Users love it because it is simple to use and is still fun to use. I love it for all of these reasons, plus i love how resource friendly it is and how simple it is to use. I am an advanced windows user, and when windows 8 came out, it confused me a lot because the UI was different. If  you were to create an XP second edition, I'm sure your customers would buy up 200 million or more licenses in the first few months. I know i would buy them for all of my current computers. I have windows XP in a Virtual machine and i see why everyone loves it. So please create a windows XP second edition. If anyone agrees with me, then  post it in the discussion.

    Of course you would rather use Vista. It's Windows 7 twin. Windows 7 is over hyped. Windows XP is a work horse. It's been around this long for a reason.

    It's been around this long because Microsoft couldn't get its Longhorn project (Vista) out the door fast enough. The result was XP being the dominant platform for way too long (6 years between major Windows releases) and during the personal computing boom. Nothing more, nothing less.

    XP is 13 years old. It is proven to be less secure then modern versions of Windows. If you'd rather switch to Linux, fine. Just get people off of XP. There's enough botnets in the world.

    I can buy a new computer. But I'm happy using XP on my laptop I have now. And 7 has nothing to offer me. I rather use Linux then. Dual boot XP and Linux.
