Even if we are talking about x86, there are a lot of OS's' that can be considered superior.

eh for me, I still like XP over Win7 and Vista. Some of it is because I always get weird performance drops randomly(some days its good, some days its just bad even though nothing new installed, always fresh reboot).

With that said though, I have nothing major against them. Just for me I'd rather be using XP especially since I have my custom theme I like, custom folder styles, custom registry edits/ad blocker using registry(sure there is one in vista/W7, havent really looked), etc. So basically for me XP is better as my personal preference.
