Let's not forget the build number was 2600.xpclient.010817-1148 - which means it was done 08-17-2001

I dunno, I never really minded the luna theme too much. I only started finding it ugly when I switched to 7, but the same thing happened with the Classic theme when I switched to XP.

I considered Luna to be fugly from the very first time I saw a screenshot of it - on Neowin if I recall correctly. Good thing there were many talented skinners around in the Windows XP days - Capric0rn, b0se, binary, KoL, Bant, ChaNinja to name but a few.

I remember the 1st XP computer my family had we put on the keyboard a sticker that said, "On the keyboard of life, always keep 1 finger on the escape key."

I'm sitting at a Windows XP SP3 computer right now Core i5 quad with 4GB of ram lol). My work said we'll upgrade to 7 soon....but they've been saying that for a while lol

At home I use OSX exclusively (used to be a mix of OSX, Linux and Windows but not anymore)

I didn't but it seems like everyone I knew did. I was really busy cleaning up systems for a few weeks. The last and only virus I have ever gotten was on a 486 system around 1996 I think; it was a boot virus I got off a 5.25" floppy disk full of shareware games.

I remember my dad coming back from PC World with a Packard Bell Pentium 4 to replace the ageing windows 95 box we had, what an OS.
