That's interesting.
I still have a couple of old laptops (I hoard things), but I don't think either of them run XP. I think one of them is Vista.
Unfortunately, as they become old they don't run very well, which is why I replaced them.
I think the ideal would be if you could buy new, up to date laptops with a choice of the version of Windows you prefer.
Yes, I know that third party software sometimes insists on recent version(s) of Windows to run properly, but I think the same applies: if the software I run works perfectly, even on an old version of Windows, why change?
