XP may be winning in terms of performance...overall XP is lightweight and good performing OS, but despite that, XP is indeed a nesting place for quite a lot of viruses and worms..even with most up to date and state of the art Antivirus engine..XP kernel is quite vulnerable to attacks and that means major let down...although, i have to say while win7 might not beat XP performance, it does have huge performance boost over Viscrap..with newer tech compatibility with todays computing, id say it does feel more superior to XP...but generally, if in terms of computing alone, and everyday task for computer, subtract gaming in that equations, then any Linux distro will do the job...it does perform well in everyday task and again if a person not into heavy gaming, linux is recommended... :)
