SP3 is fine, it's SP2 that isn't. Or did you mean to say you were still on SP2?

I'm using SP3 at work.

Absolutely. I have no need for Hasta-la-Vista or Weven-Wobble. ;) That said, my main dev machine is XP, I run 64 bit Vista on an HP laptop, and on a much older laptop I have W7 installed, as well as on a VirtualBox. And my client has thousands of XP installations, all working fine. Marc

Yes and no. I was on SP2 until a few months ago, now it's XP SP3. And we still have no plans (from what I can tell) to move to Vista or Weven.

Then you can look forward to receiving no security updates from next month onwards. :)

they have no plans to upgrade at all
Wonder how many companies will be surprised when they stop receiving updates if they're still on SP2 after next month?
Kevin
I don't think they will even care - there were a few reasons I left that company ;P

My brother still is on Windows XP SP2.5. That is, a Windows XP SP2 installation where the SP3 setup crashed half-way. Surprisingly, the systems still works OK and he refuses to reinstall the OS. I upgraded both of my machines from Vista to Windows 7 in March. Last time I used XP was in 2006 (I was one of the few Vista users who thought it was OK). Usage Statistics of SharpDevelop 4.0, April+May 2010 (we released Beta 1 only yesterday, so all this data is from early adopters of our Alpha versions):
XP SP2: 3%
XP SP3: 20%
Server 2003/XP x64: 1%
Vista SP1: 5%
Vista SP2: 10%
Windows 7: 60%The remaining 1% is shared between Vista (no SP) and Windows 7 Release Candidate (WTF, didn't that expire before April 2010?).

You mean that connecting to today's Internet with a 10 year old system is not crazy?

I don't use it except for support of work. The project lead refuses to move from XP and absolutely refuses to allow anything other than XP as the official environment.... But I am long since Win7x64 at home and work, I use VM systems to support the Pl. :)

I'm using Windows XP SP2 x64 right now. :-D I used to have Vista x64 on this machine, but in the week that I had it, it BSOD'd at least 25 times... :doh: I think I may upgrade to Weven, but I may not...

oh bother! i still use it quite a bit.. it's running as a VM image at the moment which i scraped off an old laptop that threatened to die on me. what can i say, the project (.net) has been going on for so long i didn't feel like upgrading everything and reinstalling everything... thing is: it just worked, and it's not broken... so why fix it? (although it looks like that's gonna change soon) ;P

Under normal circumstances I would consider this question totally irrelevant. Then I tried to install VS2010 on the office dev machine, rejected, must have SP3 to install :sigh: . Over 6k machines in our organisation and all running xp sp2.

I suppose if it's not connected to the internet there's no worry (or at least less worry).
