Windows XP is 15 years old on August 24, 2016, when it was first released to manufacturers for sale.

The OS holds very many love and memories of me on my first computer, an IBM ThinkPad R50e which likely still works to this day. XP was reliable, and XP was good. If it didn't work you could always still do something with it (usually).

So many great times. Flash games, MSN/Windows Messenger, WordPad, MS Office 2003, Outlook Express, IE6, the start of forums, ACMLM'S BOARD I2, XEOGAMING, etc. etc. and I was born just a month later after its release as well.

An amazing OS it was simple and easy to use while being fully featured.

The beautiful XP-tan: http://muryou-anime-wallpaper.net/wallpapers/os-tan-787-wall1024.jpg

It was excluded from mainstream support in April 8, 2014, but has actually still got support if you do a registry hack.

I'm listening to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2gKSRg47E4A (DKC, Life in the Mines) and it reminds me of XP nostalgia, oddly.

I didn't like XP. I was glad to have vista cause xp looked old. Then 7 came along. Now I prefer 10.

I also liked Vista, never understood its hate. 10 is probably overhated too.

@cderp4/@the other guy: just for reference, really. I like random hashtags sometimes, and they can both convey different meaning in this sense.

Also i'm the only person who used #xpis15 hashtag on twitter so far or one of the few. No one celebrating :/

Actually, Comic Sans was trending, so I don't think so. Just not many people used the actual hash tag.

Also, XP was only released to manufacturers on August 24, it wasn't actually released in disc format until October 2001, so people probably won't celebrate until then, but the actual OS was completed on 24/8 so I'll go by that date.

I can't control what trends on Twitter, though.
I never even tweeted about it, mainly because I don't like that font...
