As a tenacious operating system, Windows XP has left an indelible mark on the hearts of billions of old users worldwide. Many people laughed that by 2020, Windows 7 will become the next XP, which is obviously not what Microsoft wants to see. At present, Microsoft is trying to attract Windows 7 users, hoping that they will migrate to a more secure Windows 10 platform as soon as possible. However, the network will still appear from time to time to miss the sound of this Microsoft classic operating system, and even enthusiastic netizens produced “Windows XP 2018 Edition” video.

According to the latest statistics from NetMarketShare, although Microsoft ended support for Windows XP in 2014, it still has a market share of 6.13%, and many companies still use this classic operating system.

Windows XP SP3 is the last service update package.

Compared with Windows 10, XP is clearly outdated and lacks many modern features, but what if Microsoft considers remaking it?

YouTube user Kamer Kaan Avdan had previously made concept videos such as “Windows 11”, “iOS 12”, and “Android 9.0”. This time, he decided to give Fluent Design for Windows XP, so he had a concept video of “Windows XP 2018 Edition.”

From the video point of view, the start menu of “XP 2018 Remake” combines the design of XP and Windows 10, introducing the Touchline-inspired Timeline.

It adds transparency effects and curve angles, but cleverly retains the original color scheme.
