A lot of them are also still using Internet Explorer 6. Doesn't make it right. Windows 7 is superior to XP in every sense I can think of. It does take a faster computer to run it well but hardware is cheap these days.. and you can also disable all the pretty goodies in Windows 7 and make it function pretty much exactly like XP.

To the OP, you might want to reformat your hard drive if it's an oldie.. you might just need a fresh slate (viruses, junk, etc). You will need to reinstall Windows and all your programs and drivers and stuff.. back up your documents. It will take you an afternoon or evening.

Make sure you've done a good virus scan and defrag before attempting above.

And ditch IE in favor of Chrome or Opera. Firefox is ok too but isn't as fast as Chrome/Opera. I prefer Opera.. i hate Chrome's interface and Opera is about as fast.
