Look...... I am not ashamed to admit I that "
yes" I am a XP user to this day.

Sure it has no network connection and it has not been updated in ages.....
But when I bought way back in 2007 in the discount bin
Rise of Nations,
Shogo: Mobile Armor Division, and
Homeworld I had no idea they would be such time consumers.
In my defense.... I could not bare to spend more money on Windows, so never upgraded, since moving to Linux.
So in the name of nostalgic games.........yes I run XP.

In all seriousness though I agree with many points in this discussion

But....good games right!.
