Quote: "Oh man, looking at old screenshots of Windows Xp is bringing back a ton of great memories. It was the first operating system I used frequently enough to be super familiar with it, I loved all the themes that were available for it, and DarkBASIC Pro worked like a charm on it. XP is by far my favorite Windows OS, with 7 being really close behind. I'm hoping that Windows 10 will become the best one yet!"
+1 to that!

While I'd never ever give up my Android phone experience, having a Windows 10
tablet seems like a brilliant. During our many, many trips to Armidale (a near-two-hour drive) I've repeatedly wished I had a laptop I could bring with me to continue my programming (because my last laptop was my main gaming PC until the excessive heat eventually fried the motherboard). Then I wished I could just program on my tablet. Then I wondered whether I could dual-boot Windows and Android on my Nexus 7. Then I tried booting Windows XP through an app, which worked but was truly horrifically slow. Then I tried tethering my phone to my tablet and using a VNC-like program but A) Australia has crappy mobile network coverage and B) our internet at our house was too slow at the time.
So I'm really excited for the possibility of carrying a full Windows computer with me in a tablet. Not only would I be able to program on the touchscreen (which is generally not the best of experiences) but I could easily plug in a mouse a keyboard and have a normal laptop experience!

Why?
Quote: "7 is way better than XP!"
Yeah probably, but I still love Windows XP!

I'll say! It was WAAAY faster than Windows 98 and a thousand times more stable!
