Windows Xp a hero now?
It's weird how everyone thinks of Windows XP as that damn good. I guess no one remembers the Blaster virus and it's variants that were so deadly and did cost millions to business. Plus a lots of other bugs and problems that were there in XP. Plain sillyness in my opinion that people want to move back instead of forward.
