1 Stick to Windows XP

Well everybody likes Windows XP and they still use it. It is getting older, but still is working fine. Even though Microsoft says the company will officially end support for Windows XP in April 2004, they have extended its support before.

Also according to the last month report from Net Applications, Windows XP continues to be the most used OS in the world. So it will be difficult for Microsoft to withdraw the XP support.
