      Except for OEM preinstallations and the odd compatible soundcard. For instance, my Dell Dimension 4100 has some sort of SoundBlaster PCI card, and I heard this music on it after a clean XP installation.

    Windows XP will NEVER die! I use it and enjoy it in a virtual machine every day. It is the most iconic OS Microsoft has ever released.
    XP was so popular back in the day (and rightfully so), that Microsoft had to support it for literally 12.5 years (or 17.5 years for ESU), which is a significantly longer lifespan than any other OS ever released.
    XP was the sole version of Windows to include ONLY improvements compared to its predecessors, in every single aspect -- stability, security, performance, appearance, interface, features, customizabilty, and more. Unlike any other version of Windows, XP did not remove any useful features and gave you complete and total freedom to customize the look and feel of your PC without having to rely on some hacks or third-party tools.
    Not to mention its unique and iconic default desktop background, which is by far the most calming and beautiful among all Windows versions. It actually became the most recognizable picture in the world, thanks to XP's huge popularity and people's understandable refusal to upgrade for so many years.
    For these reasons (and many more), XP will always have a special place in the hearts of so many people. Even today, 22.5 years after release and a full DECADE after support ended, XP is still used on approximately 9 million PCs around the world. It is insane, but not really surprising given how perfect this OS is!

      My school computers still use it, and I've been convincing them to upgrade to Windows 7 since it first came out. Now that I think about it, it's still a great operating system and maybe they shouldn't be forced to upgrade it because some dumb 15-year-old told them so.

    My dad has worked at Microsoft since 1994, and ever since I was born he's occasionally taken me into the MSFT buildings on the Redmond campus to take me exploring. I remember going around the offices, watching the same people that made Windows XP play foosball with my dad or playing Halo CE in after work parties. I didn't know it at the time, but I was there to witness a part of the Personal Computer Revolution, and I count myself lucky to have been a witness of it.
    This song is a nice reminder of those times I spent in Redmond, and it also reminds me to work hard in school so that I can be a part of the next revolution of my time.

      @@techosarusrex "Quality updates" is concerningly vague. Frankly I don't care what kind of updates it is, don't force updates. If I want an insecure OS that's what I'll use, I just installed Windows XP on a VM to play some older games I have, and at least I have that freedom. I worry about the day when I can no longer do that with the future's equivalent. Microsoft has said they're not going to make a new OS for a while. Imagine if next there's an update that changes something so significant, that older programs may struggle to run, even though they're written for that same OS. It'd be like the OS changes from before, but more subtle. Now it'll forcibly update me to the new version that has issues with older stuff, and I might not be able to run those things anymore.
      I know that sounds like a scenario that Microsoft wouldn't cause, but I don't want to put my trust in someone else to not be incompetent. Just let me have control over my own computer, and if they don't screw things up, I'll happily update. This new way of doing things is just weird, and I'm not even some old fart who's stuck in some way he's been doing things for years.

      @@cessnafun5385 You do realize Windows 10 is basically a heavily revamped version of XP, right? All versions since NT have built on top of eachother and you'll still find original code from Windows NT from the 90s in some parts of Windows 10. If you really wanted to, you could make Windows 10 look and operate just like XP with a bunch of tweaking. There are guides for this all over the internet.

    Back in high school (2011) I was running a new install of Ubuntu on my laptop. I didn't have much music on my PC at the time but I downloaded this song to it and decided to listen to it at near max volume because of how loud the students were in the library. So I put on some headphones and worked on my school work. The thing is, the Ubuntu audio drivers were screwy, the audio went through both my headphones and laptop speakers. I took my headphones off when the song was almost done playing and the entire room was silent. Nobody said anything. It was pretty goddamn awkward when I realized what was happening but I think this song has special powers lol

      A similar thing happened in my old school. The difference is that I was preparing a speech, and this was the song to be played after the speech. The speech was related to Windows XP. When the music played, everyone looked nostalgic, sad, and happy. No one spoke for more than a few minutes after the song ended. It was a really heartwarming event.

      @@NaldinhoGX Yeah. Windows XP, Windows 7 and Windows 10 are the best operating systems. Windows 2000, Windows 95 and Windows 98 are decent too, but not as great as XP, 7 and 10. Windows 11 has its ups and downs, but at least it works. Windows 3.1 and Windows 8.1 are okay. For Windows NT 4.0, Windows NT 5.0, Windows 1.0, Windows 2.0, Windows 3.0, aswell as all the Windows Server Versions, I've never used these. And Windows 8 (without the .1), Windows ME and Windows Vista suck.

    When i was about 7 or 8, my uncle had a pc from 2006. It had windows xp on it. I always loved playing on it, even tho home i had a much modern pc. Loved playing gta san andreas, mario games, blobby volley.... The computer is still alive to this day, but my grandparents have stopped paying for dialup about 9 years ago. I hope i can save this computer, or atleast a picture of it. This pc and windows version will always be a special place in my heart.
