Hands up to those ardent and still devoted XP users!!!
Windows XP launched on October 25th, 2001 exactly 10 years back. We have gone through the blue error screens so many times but the revolution that was caused by this particular OS when tracking back to the Windows 95, 98 & the not so ugly but ugly Me versions of the OS.
The XP version has been the worlds most popular Operating System until this September when its own version of the OS Windows 7 has taken over the market.
Excerpt from Appy Geek
By 2006, XP had reached a milestone of 400 million active copies, according to an IDC analyst. The successor Windows Vista was launched in January of 2006, but enthusiasts as well as the notebook segment held on to XP and widely rejected Vista. Microsoft announced the discontinuance of Windows XP several times, but delayed the end of retail sales until June 30, 2008. OEM distribution of XP ended on October 22, 2010. Extended support for XP users is still available until April 8, 2014.
