*sighs heavily and drags hands down face* Windows XP was released in 2001. Which means it could be, and was used by, children born in the 1990s. The oldest of whom are now only 34, which, let me be the first to assure y'all, is still pretty young (and if you don't think so, go hang out in a fandom where the average age is 70). Plus, since Vista wasn't released until 2006, the oldest Gen Z kids used XP as well.

(And, fyiy, it's entirely possible that '90s kids didn't even have this OS for a while, and started out on something like, say, Windows 95. Which I did. And, yes, I was born in 1990.)

Darn it, now I just miss XP.

#I maybe don't like it when a thing is purported to be Old TM and it's just... something that was part of my childhood #not because “oh I don't want to be old!” I have other sources for that #but because I am still not that old; and let me tell YOU that none of my siblings are #and even the youngest knows what a videotape is #personal #I think we forget about the longevity of many things in today's world of smartphone upgrades #I'm too tired to have a proper thesis for this tho sorry
