No, I'm not an XP refugee. All of my hardware is newish and 64 bit - I just prefer lightweight and efficient in an OS. I've tried MANY distros and like a lot of folks I continue to look for the perfect one. Yeah, I know it probably doesn't exist but the search is kind of fun. I take care of near a dozen computers in my extended family and just recently converted my wife and son over to Linux. Right now I have them on MX-14 which is a great distro with some very nifty features but it's based on Wheezy and only 32 bit so there are limitations. I DL'd the 2.0 beta this morning and booted it on USB to give it a look and I like what I see so far. I'm going to install it on my generic test laptop and give it a whirl.
As for me, I'm an old guy on my 3rd career and I worked as a programmer (in DOS) for over 15 years. Haven't written a line of code since the late 90's though as I'm currently an Accountant. All my computers are laptops ranging from an AMD E-350 netbook to a Core I-7 beast with 8GB RAM, 2GB Nvidia video, and 750 GB drive...
