Windows XP is turning five years old, but will anybody want to celebrate the occasion? Microsoft's long-anticipated replacement for 'Win 9x' - the series of releases that began with Windows 95 and ended with Windows Millennium Edition - was never supposed to stick around this long. But half a decade after it began shipping on new computers (followed a month later by its retail debut), XP lingers.

I like toying with other operating systems but the only one I can use seriously is Windows XP. It's 100% the software available, and 0% whether I like the operating system or not. Technically speaking I believe Linux et al are definitely ready for widespread use, it's just that the major applications like Photoshop or Cubase aren't available for them.
Anyway, Windows XP is now a pretty stable OS. I was hesitant to switch from 98 but I ended up never looking back. It does the job for now, but when I want to switch to a next-gen OS Vista is going to be a hard sell when tried-and-true OS X is around.
