I still use it.
Used a lot in this organization. They are working to phase them out this spring in favor of Windows 7 machines.

Same here... 1800 workstations... Seeing what havoc a new browser (IE8 mind you) and a new Java version (1.7) and flash (11.3 at the time) were causing, can't blame some of the companies... At least my position is guaranteed for another 2 years big grin

I will still use Win XP to the end of its "extended" service life. A bit better than Win 2K, and very stable. But there is a limit to how many "patches" you can do to any product.. or OS. Then it is time to start with a clean sheet of paper!
When XP is abandoned, I will still use it.. on older systems. But will have to migrate to Win 7 when required on the main system. No need for Win 8, as I don't have (or need!) all the "glitz and gee-wow" features.
