Why would you want to cling to an old OS?  If MS stuck with XP, you'd be working with a 'has been' OS that's stuck in with a 32bit architecture.
i got a batch of workstations from Dell that had XP x64 pre-installed, from Dell. normally they do pretty well for driver support, but these particular machines didn't have any drivers installed, out of the box
LOL!  I had XP x64 on my computer for years...I loved it!  But it wasn't really Windows XP...I know that one was a workstation-esque version of Server 2003.  Once I got drivers for all the supported peripherals for that OS, it was pretty kickass.  But nVidia put some shit drivers out for their chipsets back in 2005...it was rough.
XP-64 was my primary gaming rig for ages.  It was my Bf2 rig.  Awesome OS and solid through and through.

I have a feeling Windows 8 will be Zune'ish, like the latest Windows Mobile.  All touchy/feely/stretchy.  Microsoft might finally push there touch technology.

purely aesthetically speaking
Nothing wrong with that, macs have always looked better and windows pc's have always functioned better in my opinion

Really since Win95. That's when everyone started squawking about the similarities. Major differences being the bloat and bugginess of Windows as compared to Mac's OS. They appear to be growing closer together, though...
Me and (both) my friends were squawking about it from Windows 3.1 onwards.
Where were the squawkers when Apple robbed (well, kinda) Xerox of their interface concepts?

And to make it worse, the MacOS version is from 1984 while Windows 3.1 was released in 1992.  lol
I say 95 because that was the first version of Windows where you could put shortcuts on the desktop a la Mac. Yes, 3.1 looked similar to MacOS, but the functionality wasn't there (ish) until 95.

Windows Me was released seven months after Windows 2000 and one year before Windows XP, but Windows Me was not intended to be, nor did it serve as the successor to Windows 2000. Windows Me was designed for home use, while Windows 2000 was designed for business.
ME was a catastrophe while Win2k was rather brilliant...
