Despite what you might think, XP will not pay the rent. It will not cure cancer, or get you into a prestigious Ivy League college, or convince a cute waitress at the Waffle House in Cherry Hill, New Jersey to take you in the back and perform sexual favors. XP won't cook or clean, it can't screen your phone calls, and it certainly won't pick you up at the airport when you come in on the red eye. XP can't hit a curveball, drive a car, or mix a really good margarita. Hell, XP doesn't even look good naked!

So don't worry about the XP. Just keep noding. If it comes, it comes...
