It does stand for eXPerience. What makes you think it is wrong?

Do you have a need to know? We can't be too careful these days.

It may stand for eXPerience, but it doesn't say what kind of an eXPerience
that will be. The type of eXPerience varies widely, depending primarily upon
the level of computer expertise, and the unpleasantness of the eXPerience is
inverserly proprotional to the level of expertise. Sometimes.

It actually does stand for eXPerience, like it or not (the fact and/or
the eXPerience).

Are you absolutely certain you've heard ALL the funny ones? I doubt it,
more are being made up all the time.

How about [eXPlative deleted]?

You don't have to pay anyone. You've already gotten the correct
answer. It's eXPerience.

If that's the way you feel then you *should* go back to 2000.
Personally I'm very happy with XP, as is the vast majority of
others I know who use it.
