I would love to fork out that much for an OS. /sarcasm.

Actually Win7 is going to cost around £60-70 in some places anyway.

I'd rather have XP to be quite frank.

[Homosexual]

Why? Windows XP is full of bugs, one of the reasons why I upgraded. Windows 7 is aesthetically pleasing and easier to use. You'll fall in love with it

It's people like you who are holding this world back.

[Homosexual]

Windows XP, whether it's SP1, 2 or 3, all include IE6 which is holding us back, Recursion Vista and Windows 7, however, tell a different story.

It's people like you that decide that [Insert Mission critical system here] should run on Windows XP.

List of 'Mission Critical' Systems:

Nuclear Power Station controls (Networked, never updated, you get the picture)
ATM Machines (Yes they have been hacked before, networked, never updated)
Tescos self service (Yes, they don't install updates, networked)
NHS Life Support machines (Networked, never updated, Conficker goodness hooked upto people on life support)
MRI Scanners (Brilliant, our personality is in the hands of someone who might take over the world)
US Presidential Electronic Voting Machines (Black vote, or Hack Vote?, networked to central DBs)

I'm not gonna help or give any advice on someone who's building a computer for Windows XP when Windows 7 is released within weeks.

Haha, don't pay £60 for Windows XP. I wouldn't pay a fiver for it. Just buy Windows 7 for that price. It's far superior. I don't know why you'd wanna run an outdated OS

I only run an outdated OS because Vista is a boar.
