I've been using W/XP for several years now.
OS Name	Microsoft Windows XP Professional
Version	5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 Build 2600

Someday, I may be forced to upgrade for one reason or another.  In the 
mean time, what I have works and I'll keep it as long as it does work.

I might be forced to upgrade some day to support new hardware or 
software but not today or tomorrow!  What I have does what I need/want.
