Why XP mostly. I can understand why people may prefer or be forced to
use Windows (even though that's something I personally try hard to
avoid), but I'd figure anyone that could have moved on from XP would
have by now. Especially because, as I mentioned, XP is no longer
receiving any updates or security fixes of any sort, making XP users
relatively more vulnerable (although I acknowledge that the knowledgeable
can take measures to reduce the risk).

If you're still using XP, there's obviously a reason of some sort, by
choice or otherwise. I hadn't realized that some people on the Emacs
lists were still using XP, otherwise I would have responded
differently. Please don't take what I've already said in a negative or
derogatory way.
