Ooops, I have Win XP Pro x64. My system doesn't need a service pack because its so much better than your pathetic 32-bit OSes!

LOL, seriously though, this OS never crashes....I'm not kidding around with you when I say this. Its the most stable OS I've ever used. Its based on Windows Server 2003 so that makes sense I guess. Its compatible with every program I have, even some old old DOS games (I'm a software pack rat). I highly recommend it if you got an x64 disk included when you bought WinXP.

Screw SP3 and upgrade to x64!

#46,
Every OS of the NT family installed in a NTFS-formated partition can be considered "secure" if you know how to use and secure a system properly and I'm not talking about 3rd-party apps.
Sure, Vista is more secure by default thanks to the standard user account/UAC, ASLR (the only security feature missing in XP), Windows Defender and other things. The same features are available in XP if you know what you're doing.
However, any "secure" system can be pwned if you install crap like Adobe's Flash as a recent hacker contest proved.

This Grandma runs lighter and faster than MS's new baby, which consumes vast amounts of resources just to crawl a bit.

Eh?

I run XP MCE 2005 SP2 and Vista x64 Ultimate SP1 side by side on my desk. My Dell 9300 with the former and my Dell M1720 with the latter.

Exaggerations make my head hurt.

We'll see. I had a handful of computers that borked when we pushed out the XP SP2 update a couple years ago. Nothing a repair install couldn't handle, though.
