XP in its time was the pinnacle of OS'. Usability was fantastic, Microsoft really shot themselves in the foot with XP as there was little need to move on.
Obviously it's well outlived it's usefulness after support finally dwindled, and Win7 is a sufficient modern substitute. Keep in mind that Microsoft will never make that mistake again, their job is to provide an OS that is just good enough to be better than the last, but not enough to ever fully cater to your needs.
While we're at it, Office 2003 was the last usable version. The ribbon is utter bullshit.
