Always loved it, although some developer acquaintance of mine used to rant to me about how limiting it was to software GUI and how Vista solved that but I still don't think that matters much or even at all.
Dominic Russell
Sort of funny 9/10

XP was ok. ME was WAY better.

It was complete trash before SP2, had zero protections whatsoever. With SP2, it could still easily get fucked over, but at least it wasn't the case of a virus infecting half billion users every month.
I still have my 2003 backups, I had to reinstall it every month or so because it fucking broke so easily.

No

XP wasn't perfect especially not initially (there was a point in time that the moment you connected a fresh install of xp that didn't have sp1, you would instantly get the MS Blaster worm) but it was a great step up from the instability of 98. I remember the beta scene for xp in 2001 it was fun times. Seeing the evolution of it.

This, people remember XP as good because it's last iteration with SP3 was good. Early XP was garbage.
Noah Jones
Yes. I liked it more than 7.
Hunter Watson
The OS? No.
The times the OS represented? Yes.
