Maybe, now that M$ has decided to turn it's back on the best thing they have ever done, an independent company can buy XP and re-release it... giving people a realistic and usable option for an OS.
No one is "turning their back" in that sense... more like just moving on, technology does that. XP was a good thing but, debatably, not the best. XP is "the best" only if someone refuses to acknowledge how good Windows 8.1 is. Even good horses ultimately are turned out to pasture, if their owners let that happen (in this case more a dinosaur than horses). Hard for some to accept the change that is called progress.

Nothing I nor anyone else takes time to say will make any difference. Enjoy XP. Years ago, we all did.

And by that you mean you can't think of a reason. If you could have, you would have. It must be awesome to be a blind follower of something and not know why.
Actually, it is none of that but, you can & will decide whatever & that's ok; talking like you have enough info to know what is in my head, is not. I just don't find conversation w/ you pleasant, enjoyable or enticing, ergo was trying not to fuel it.

Hi
The main reason to run something later than XP would be that a modern computer exceeds the abilities of XP.
For instance I have 32 gigabytes of ram, I could have 64, I'm pretty sure that you can't have more than 16 in Windows XP 64 bit, and only 3 in 32 bit.
I have a video card that there are no Windows XP drivers for etc.
3D vision?
I'm pretty sure that Windows XP wouldn't know what to do with a 6 core processor, or for that matter a video card that has 4 gigabytes of video ram on it as opposed to 16 megabytes.
In fact I doubt that most of my software would run in Windows XP anymore, or most of my games.
It's just too out of date.
If you don't run high performance 3D applications etc, then you could probably live with XP but not on a state to the art computer.
