XP was released in 2001. That's not really old.

Seriously… I have 22 year old coworkers who are trying to act all jaded and shit like they’ve been through 5 tours of Vietnam because they’ve been at work for 8 months.

If you had to go into tunnels to avoid German bombers - yeah you’re old. If you remember using windows XP it’s highly unlikely your peers have died outside of car accidents and overdoses.

XP is more of a younger millennial/older gen z experience. I remember XP on my living room pc when I was still in 1st grade. Those were the times...

I had a few but they didn't do much damage. My antivirus annihilated them.

I was in college, and they gave us Pro upgrades and all of the antivirus software.  They did not want viruses in their systems. 🤭

I mean, 25 years is a solid chunk of time. Not ancient by any means, but average life expectancy in the US is ~79 years, so it's creeping close to 1/3rd of someones expected lifespan.
