Be nice @eLPuSHeR I do miss my XP Pro. But then, there's a list of things I miss.

I still have an ancient HP laptop with XP and my brother is still using it.

For me it was Bullet Proof. I maintained the 20 machines in the Drafting Department and with that bunch I/we had no problems. I have no experience with anything between XP and 10. I missed out on Vista, 7, *, and 8.1. But I am learning 10, or at lease some of it.
