Agreed :good:
I don't mind XP for my own personal use, but at school XP was just so slow, 7 seems to be faster on the same machines. It's probably because whilst we were on XP the school just installed every piece of software under the sun, but on 7 we seem to have far less programs now.

Our school has only XP (didn't count the ones from the staff).
They are all pentium d's, but they go pretty fast...
Also my server pc uses XP, because w7 is slower (requires also more ram then xp) in that stuff. Didn't install ubuntu, because I don't work that happy with it and in windows you can do sone things more.

At school we had an assembly on the "new, super fast computers" which run on the "New, super quick Operating System" (bearing in mind this was two weeks ago)... Pressed F1, it's some crappy £20 board and an AM3 single core sempron. (2GB of RAM, though, wow.)The old celerons with windows XP were faster.
I completely appreciate that state schools have a budget and can't afford high end computers for every man woman and child, but whoever told the headteacher they were fast is just a troll.
My netbook which first got my on this forum runs on XP
I actually prefer the style to Aero, feels less gimmicky and more functional
I agree with this. I also like the Windows Classic theme. Brings me back to a time of AOL and MS Paint. =P (Back when I was a kid and actively wasted time on it, anyway)
I love XP. I never could decide which was faster between it and 7, based upon personal experience. I wish I could find a way to have both.

There are XP-like themes for Windows 7, you know.
XP's default 'Luna' theme is the most hideous UI I've ever seen in my life.

I think Windows Classic is worse.
I prefer Windows Classic to the horrible blue and green look of the Luna UI. Microsoft's own Zune Theme would be my personal choice for XP though. The black and orange looks much nicer than the blue and green.

I do like the Zune and Royale themes. But I do like the Luna theme too.
Royale is better than Luna. At the end of the day it's personal opinion/preference. I don't like Luna. The olive theme is even worse.

I'm with you on the Olive theme, and I don't really like the silver theme either.
Like windows classic theme as in 98/2000. Like XP, but the default theme always reminded my of some kind of Disney or VTech kids computer. By 7 it has improved alot over XP default.
Yeah the silver theme isn't too bad. I still like the Zune theme though.
Haha yeah.
I actually think Vista and 7 have the nicest UIs, Vista's UI is probably a tiny bit nicer than 7's, but I still like 7's UI a lot.
Yeah, vista really improved it. I like 7 alittle better, it seems 7 is alittle more clean.
