Can windows 10 be like windows XP?

 Microsoft has launched its newest windows operating system called windows 10. The question now is, can windows 10 fit into the shoes of windows XP? Despite all effort by Microsoft to efface windows XP completely, XP till date is still regarded as an outstanding and unbeatable operating system of choice. In spite of the new and improved features found in subsequent operating systems, window XP remained unshakeable in their mist. So, what makes windows XP thick?
The launch of Windows XP by Microsoft Corporation about two decades ago brought about a revolution in the computer software industry with Microsoftt Corporation at the pinnacle of affairs.Windows XP was a complete package.It was the first time Microsoft was coming out with an operating system with a great and fantastic user friendly interface coupled with ease of working with it. Windows XP carried newer features that were not available in previous operating systems like Window 2000, 98, and 95. XP audio visual characteristic was so unique and fascinating that it became the toast of the whole world. Even software companies had to go back to the drawing board to roll out softwares that were compatible with Windows XP. The impact of XP on the internet cannot be over emphasized as websites designs and creation got better under the XP platform.
Windows XP thrived for a whole decade before Microsoft decided to upgrade it into Window Vista. People were already too acquainted with XP that they never wanted a change. Everybody remained stocked timidly to XP disregarding whatever Vista had to offer. Quite unlike when XP came on board and everybody had to upgrade their systems to XP. This was not the case with Vista. Nobody was upgrading XP to Vista, rather they preferred to downgrade Vista, Window 7 to XP. Only newer model of systems came with Vista already installed.
Today, the effort to scrap XP completely has continued to intensify. Now XP has compatibility issues with most contemporary hard disk. XP cannot be loaded on these hard disk. Not even SATA XP.
Newer versions of most softwares like office 2010, 2013, .Netframework 4.5 etc cannot run on XP. Even newer versions of web applications like YahooMessenger, Bluestacks, Biometric data capture e.t.c have incompatibility issues with XP currently.
Now, whether we like it or not, we are forced to upgrade XP to Vista, Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1. Or else we would be setting a limitation for ourselves.
Even some newer laptops presently run on only Windows 8/8.1 and now windows 10 Any attempt to downgrade it to Windows 7 or Vista would not work because the hard disk is GPT, hence downgrading it results in driver incompatibility issues.
