Ih8teXP,

consumers have stayed with XP for the same reason the netbook category has become popular. The average person realizes they need a computer to type the occasional letter in a word processor, compile a monthly budget into a spreadsheet, and possibly make a presentation for work or a family get-together. These tasks don't require an OS with a fancy user interface. XP simply works.

I agree. Some people just can't (or aren't willing to) pay hundreds of dollars every year to upgrade their operating system just to keep Microsoft in business. What is the point of that? Why fix it if it's not broken? It's a waste of money.
