I used Windows XP SP2 until last summer, when I switched to SP3.
Any newer operating system is bigger, more complex, takes more memory, is slower, and have less Service Packs that makes to have more bugs. Being more complex, is harder to find the bugs to repair them. Not all companies released new software versions which are compatible with Windows 7.
So I prefer always better to use an older operating system, even if my computer supports even Windows 7.
I agree, Windows 7 is the future, and I will switch to it later, maybe when it will have at least one service pack.
Stability depends by how you use it.
By installing only several programs from reputable companies, it remains stable. But if you repeately install and uninstall hundreds of shits found on internet and filesharing networks, cracked software (which may contains viruses), and dezactivate antivirus which don't let you to download a crack, is obviously that any Windows will not work properly anymore!
The only truly stable operating system is MS-DOS!!
