Ron Schenone at Lockergnome asks some XP stories to share wondering why people stiil love XP (full article at http://www.lockergnome.com/blade/2009/06/18/people-are-still-in-love-with-windows-xp-i-wonder-why/).
Well, I think that some laziness and people habits are also behind this “XP love”: changing an OS is not so simple and risk free.
Also Today OS have a shortened life (see Vista and Windows 7) and upgrades are not for free.
If you add the fact that not everybody (I would say the majority) feels the need to have the latest technology and software onboard…then recipe is done to have XP still loved by people
