I have recently booted into dad's decade(s?) old xp pc and was baffled by how snappy that thing was...

XP was snappy at first, but then I used to install a couple of programs and things started to suck big time. It was always the registry. At the time, a lot of people I knew, used to just format Windows on a regular basis, also because the spyware and malware were so prevalent.
