Windows XP
Luna theme's home
Windows XP is a Microsoft operating system released in 2001, widely regarded as one of the most successful versions of Windows.
It combined consumer-friendly features with business stability, becoming the default for a generation of PC users.
XP remained in use long past its intended lifespan—many ATMs and office computers still ran it years after support ended.
The distinctive green start button and rolling hills wallpaper became iconic: My parents' computer still runs XP.
