I use it at work. Can't say it's noticeably better than xp.

It manages memory better than XP and so usually feels faster (i.e. is more responsive) on limited RAM.

If I used Windows more often, the version might matter to me.

From what little I've seen of it, it is certainly baffling.

Plus it hasn't reached end of life.  I'm interested to see what MS will do when someone releases a show stopping virus.  I wonder if they will refuse to patch it or if the pressure to do so will be to great.  They may actually be wishing for that to happen to speed up the adoption of newer OS's.

I'm running the 10 Technical Review and it's no different than 8 with a hybrid start menu.  Of course it's still early so lots could change before it's released I guess.

That's because the OS's on that list are getting patched, XP isn't on that list because it's not and will be vulnerable.

XP shares the same kernel as Server 2003.  I checked a few older patches and it's the same.  IE 6 critical patch from October isn't available for XP, we both know IE 6 is in XP.

*I'm not trying to convince you to upgrade.  I just want you to be aware that XP will soon be pretty risky to use if it isn't already.

Not for me it isn't.

You've somehow uncoupled IE from Windows?

Oh I'm sure it is risky, but they're also finding vulnerabilities in all newer releases, apparently. So there's that.
