I never used XP personaly. I used Windows 2000. Tried XP 64 bits for a week went back to 2000. Then when Windows 7 came out I used RC1 for many years and never looked back.
Giving credit where credit is due, Windows 7 WAS the best Windows for users ever, until W10 came out and in a "strange coincidence", MS broke Windows updates for 2 years turning lots of computers in turtoises.
I only have a W10 machine for DirectX 12 with W10 privacy options all enabled (no updates, etc.). W10 being the reason I have came back in Linux full force (tried Ubunto 9-12 a few years back).
XP is a monster on ressources, but if you have XP without SP2 or SP3 it can work on 256MB RAM quite nimbly... but thats ancient history.
