Got three people interested in a Linux distro already this week.

What would happen if the open source world could get hold of XP off MS and support it all patched up and secure?

Never going to happen but if they did I'd still be using it cos it worked and on a modern fast machine runs almost as quick as Linux.

With the shambles that was Vista (spits on floor), extending support for XP IMHO saved MS's bacon and although 7, 8 10 are prettier it really isn't necessary to get the job done is it and hogs system resources all this prettiness.

Back in days when everything was CLI and an adequate word processor could be run from a floppy, it just seems every time we get advances in processing power and faster machines Windows seemed to eat it.
