The only problem I see running XP on a newer computer is possible limited driver support for newer hardware. Another problem is finding a copy to buy.

There are ways to make 7 more XP like but some things that were doable in XP aren't in 7 unfortunately.

Also, face it, XP is nearly dead. They stop support for XP in 2014, and from what I've read, a lot of companies probably won't even test software on XP anymore come 2012. At some point you have to move on. Granted my current laptop is XP, but it's an older one. Even so, I've got it hacked to look like 7. And my desktop home and at work are both Vista.
