Probably because you haven't looked that hard.
- Increased performance
- Increased stability
- Support for newer hardware
- Overall easier use and smoother workflow
- People are going to stop supporting it really soon
For crying out loud, I think I would rather be running on Ubuntu or something rather than XP at this point.
Also, you cannot say 'I see no reason to upgrade' and whine about lack of third party support and be the same person.
You see a lot of statistics about how XP is still one of the most popular OS out there. Well it's because of people like you, and it's holding the rest of us back.
So do you just not wan't to try something new that a lot of people obviously like, or are you just lazy? Don't you dare say anything about money since you can try it for free for 30 days and THEN decide and purchasing a license.

For me, changing an operating system every other year is as drastic as tearing down parts of my house and rebuilding just as often. You might argue that its more like painting your room every year, but how often do you really repaint your room?
I would compare it more to putting a goddamn CD into my goddamn optical drive and clicking some buttons. |

Also security, mostly user fault
Flaws in the OS code are not the user's fault and are the most common type of exploitable weakness.

speed, XP is way faster at most things, a bit slower at some, which most people never use.
Please cite your sources because that statement is demonstrably untrue.

stability .. well probably most stable system i had since win2k.
Of course it's the most stable thing you have had, it's the newest operating system you have tried, you dinosaur.. If you haven't even really compared the two then all of your commentary is invalid.
Some people are just stuck in their ways. Cannot be argued with and any proof presented (even in the absence of their own proof) will just be ignored. The old mentality of "if it 'aint broke, don't fix it" is a very poor choice to make. If everyone thought that way we would be stuck in the stone age.
