20th Anniversary

The 20th anniversary of Windows XP will be celebrated on October 25 2021 (counting the GA date, not the RTM date on August 24). It is a highly anticipated milestone because Windows XP was still in common use until relatively recently, and because Windows XP had many features that make it especially nostalgic. There is an expected increase in the amound of retro builds for XP gaming, plus more people will be trying Windows XP again and the prices may likely go up again as they did with Windows 95 in 2015. Windows 3.1 in 2012. Windows 98 in 2018. Hopefully prices won't go up like the older three operating systems.
