I used XP for around 10 years and rarely had any trouble with it, very stable and very easy to use.
At the time, the only reason I upgraded to Win 7 was for the 64 bit as I was unable to get my hands on a 64 bit XP at the time.
Its a shame there is no support for it anymore, I hope Win 7 will be just as good, because if it is I will use it for may years to come.
Though I heard rumors that Win 8 is not very good, but its only rumors and not confirmed.
In any case I will stick to win 7 for now.
