Long live XPs. Happy Birthday Windows XP! 2001-2011

[Pwned]

I was waiting for this day. Finally! Most companies use still XP (damn them)! XP is the last oldest OS that still runs on my newest computer natively!

I saw a computer running Windows NT 4.0 just yesterday.

I was at the Science Center in the Manitoba Museum here in Winnipeg, MB, CA, NA ( ) and a computer was showing its taskbar (Its Not suppost to) and I clicked on the non-english start menu and it sain "Windows N" And I knew it ment "NT"

Most of the people use Windows 7, but number two is XP of course.

And here I am, still using Windows XP as a web server because of it's speed on a AMD FX-53 with 2 gigs of ram.

Interestingly, I've got a copy of the Windows XP RTM.


And now I will delete this VM. If you have to use NT 5, use NT 5.0 (Windows 2000) for goodness sakes!

Happy birthday Windows XP. (I wasn't waiting for this day AT ALL) In my book, XP, Vista and 2000 are the best NT OS ever made.

I'm pretty sure what you have is not the first RTM. XP RTM is compiled on the 24th by the xpclient lab. Same lab as 2532, 2535 and 2542

Correct, XDude, a quick Google search said me that he use 5.1.2600.41.xpclnt_qfe.010827-1803 (USB 2.0 drivers from Toshiba).

Happy Birthday Windows XP!
Though it's old now, it's the most succesful and the comfortable OS!!
Windows 7 isn't so comfortable as Windows XP is.

Edit: Corrected Post Structure

I'm still using Windows XP as primary OS. It's easy to configure and easy to use. And doesn't have alot of bugs.

[jamieostrich]

I believe this is RTM. Straight from MSDN (Still on there)

Can this be uploaded to the ftp now?

[linuxlove]

You'll have to wait until 2014 for it to be released.

[TheCollector1988]

and 2015 for Windows Server 2003.

[Andrew Tapferke]

Windows 95 also turns 16 today.

[linuxlove]

This one I will be keeping ^_^ My 486 is still alive and kicking, even today.

you're using Windows 3.1x' bootscreen as your background

Slightly modified Windows 3.1 bootscreen. Color is teal like the Win95 desktop. Version and copyright info have also been updated.

[Samlaptop]

Most schools and colleges in the UK still use Windows XP. They should upgrade to Windows 7!

Happy Birthday Microsoft Windows Xp the cake is a lie!

[betascollector]

Happy birthday XP! I used it up until early 2011!

I used them until my old 7-years old computer upgraded to Windows 7 in February 2010 and got a new laptop with Windows 7 on it in March 2010.

I was waiting for this day. Finally! Most companies use still XP (damn them)! XP is the last oldest OS that still runs on my newest computer natively!

Most peoples still use XP but many of them not upgraded to SP3.
