XP and XP Pro are two different things and they're very different. XP is for a single user while XP Pro is for network users. It's still widely used by businesses, and Windows elected not to get rid of it along with XP because of that. Though I'm getting more used to it I hate it that it can't be set up for a single user. I do like it though that I have important system files in both the "owner" user that I use for myself and the "admin" user that I stay away from in case something should ever happen to an important system file in my user part there's a copy I can grab from the "admin" user part to replace it.

It's like Windows NT used to be the business standard and was made to be for networked users but entirely different than whatever single user software Windows had at the time (95, 98, 2000?).

Microsoft does scads of upgrades of software for single user systems but doesn't for software for networked systems since it's primarily businesses that use the network software which requires a lot more expense of replacement... they don't care if they bankrupt the single user but do care about creating such havoc on the business users.

It's windows XP, NOT XP Pro that is going unsupported in April along with Office 2003. It's Office 2003 I'm going to have to do something about in the next few weeks since it's my email system.
