My old XP laptop (Dell Latitude D400 from about 2003) ran the first version(s) of XP fine. Choked a little on SP2 and then became utterly useless by SP3. (If I had known I could shut reporting off I would have done it.) I had been dual booting but, when SP3 took fifteen minutes to boot up, I just removed Windows altogether and ran Linux Mint. Still using that computer with Linux Mint (Mate flavor).
