Just tried it and got 178,050 as my score.

Pretty tongue-in-cheek statement as to how old XP is, and I thought it was rather funny. Thanks for sharing!

Ha! I got 181,000

The feels. THE FEELS!

This is still really amazing though. I've used XP for a long, long time, before updating to a Windows 8 laptop just a few months ago. I love Windows 8, but... I love XP too! Plus, Window 8 doesn't run the Future Pinball table editor as well as XP, which is kind of a problem for me. (I've already got some work-arounds planned for when I need to use the broken features though) And that giant, evil Clippit. He's always given me the creeps...

Oh, my score was 79,450 btw.

Edit: Replayed and managed to get 260,450!

I got 219,150.

I re-tried the game, and got 215,400. I'll see if I can't improve on it later.

Edit: I got 244,150 now. Still trying.

Thanks for this post, game was fun, controls stink to high hell, now if we could take Nintendo's business strategy and do the same, maybe we would get some better results?

I re-played and got 417,650

233, 450. Very cute.

EDIT1: 271, 600.

This should be a reminder that Microsoft has officially stopped supporting Windows XP. So yeah...

458,300
485.050
549,200

Tip: If you're fast enough, you can shoot an electric blast in both directions.

492,850, doods! R.I.P. XP!

Windows 7. Just always, Windows 7. It's my favorite OS and will always be.

Windows 8 joke goes here

It's pretty much perfect in almost every way. Microsoft's problem is that people don't have a reason to upgrade from Windows 7. Especially not to the nightmare that is Windows 8.

They were running a website trying to get people to stop using IE6.
Though I recall someone, maybe them, had posted a map of where IE6 was still being used and it was largely China.

As to XP, maybe it's because they had just gotten worse. I hear Vista was awful and my PC is not a giant smartphone, MS!
I hear if I had to upgrade, 7 is my choice.

yup 7 is the best one out of the still supported 3.
but you can also jump out of windows if you don't use your PC for gaming there are countless free Linux based OSes and many of them are easy to use.

Nope, I'm keeping my XP until Valve releases SteamOS. I don't see how Microsoft deserves a single penny from me.
