Before everyone loved Windows XP, they hated it

I liked XP.

I stayed with DOS for a few years after Windows was introduced.

I still keep my checkbook in CHEX. CHEX is a DOS pgm and runs in a DOS window in XP. But alas, Win7, 8 and 8.1 will not run a DOS pgm. Even with the emulator.

I need a good Windows checkbook pgm. No, not Quicken.

One of my laptops is running Vista, one XP, one NT and one Win. 7
Desktop is XP also.
EDIT to add---------Oooppppsssss two laptops running XP.

Those that hated it only had to see the later Windows versions to realize it wasn't so bad.

don't color me with that brush. I was on Win98 and purposely avoided Vista and whatever else came before XP. I never upgrade OS...I always buy a new PC and when XP was delivered and I saw it on my PC and work I fell in deep, deep like with it and the rest is history. I still have a desktop and laptop running XP for very specific applications and likely will keep both up and running until the magic smoke runs out.
