Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

[KMilenkoski1202]

Alright, so this year, on October 25th, it will mark 25 years (quarter of a century) since Windows XP was released to the public and retail, meaning it is that time to do something to commemorate its anniversary, just like many people do. What do you guys plan on doing to commemorate its anniversary? 🎉🪟 (also don't worry, this is not AI, as you can tell by there being no hyphens)

Maybe people can share stories about their time with it?

If I could, I would commemorate it the best way possible: Replacing old machines that are still running Windows XP with something more modern, stable and better.

 

 

Noone and nothing should be running Windows XP in 2026.

Carol, Windows XP is still being used today only in a small capacity. It is still the best OS there is due to its backwards compatibility with other older software, the customization features, and friendly UI, and people often feel that upgrading to newer OSes is cost prohibitive in specialized Industries or developing countries, so the market share as of now is around 0.2%-0.3%
