Windows always assume people have only 1 C: drive, and squeeze everything into it.

Setup also never let user choose another drive for user profiles and home directories.

I hope that "someone" will provide "support" now that $soft has abandoned XP.

Heard from others using Windows XP currently will get pop up message
stating M$ no longer support windows xp and user has to waste one mouse
click (on OK) to close the message

 

[peterchan75]

Yes, that message exist. Some XP machines have to continue living due to the legacy software they are running. Let's hope that the user base shrink and hackers lost interest for XP.

Copies of XP are still being sold in SLS.

I wonder if it still makes sense to buy one and use, especially for older desktops with weak processors and limited memory (1GB / 2GB ram, single core, Celeron CPUs etc.).

Do Windows 7 and 8 perform equally well on such low end systems?

XP is still the best. My PC still running on XP, and I still have a couple of XP copies too.
