I was shocked to discover my new installation of xp sp3 did not have ie8 (it still had the default ie6). OK I forgot ie8 is a manual install. Then I went to MS to download it, and they said it is not compatible with xp 32-bit. FUCKING LIARS! I've installed ie8 on xp at least a dozen times. 

Luckily I had an ie8 installer archived, so I'm installing it now. Microsoft and Apple are LIARS! I hate you all.

That was posted from Chrome, which I also hate.

3 reasons: too cheap to upgrade, games and our main client at work requires our stuff to run on it.

Glad you mentioned that. Another reason to not upgrade: ram is maxed out @ 2G. I'll probably be buying a new barebones kit in another year or two, and get Win7 oem/jim*.

What's the cpu?

Win 7 runs fine on 2GB and a relatively slow (by today's standards) Core Duo (not Core 2 Duo) mobile cpu.

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.
