d3bruts1d Posted June 24, 2005 Posted June 24, 2005 To me it is hard to pick just one, as each version (except ME) had aspects that I enjoyed. DOS (as someone said) is great for the command line geeks like me. Probably the reason I enjoy Linux and Opera so much is the ability to use the keyboard for just about everything. Windows 3.x was good because Microsoft didn't have everything built into the OS yet. The 3.x era of Windows was still just DOS. Fast, simple, and didn't rely on the registry for everything. Windows 9x (95/98) had some nice improvement to the UI. Still didn't have everything proprietary built in. Windows 2K improved the UI a bit more over the 9x era and added the security that made WinNT so nice. Win XP / XP64 took 2K "up a notch". While I hate the XP themes, reliance on the registry, and the inability to uninstall MS products, the OS preformed better than 2K (for me) in daily usage and gaming.

ClayMeow Posted June 29, 2005 Posted June 29, 2005 Definitely XP, without a doubt. Had too many problems with 98se which was completely remedied when upgrading to XP (and not changing anything else). And yeah, I just love the interface Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byron Posted June 29, 2005 Posted June 29, 2005 Xp, mainly because it seems to be the most stable of them all. I havent rebooted my folder in about 4 months, and I dont think that would be possible with any other old microsoft OS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
silkster Posted June 29, 2005 Posted June 29, 2005 (edited) Don't know why anyone would say Win2000 has a lack of support for games, XP and 2000 are both NT so any games design for XP will obviously work fine on WIN2k. My vote goes for XP Professional because XP has more support for newer devices and takes advantage of new apps desingn for XP (Windows Media 10). Professional version for more Network options.

I know this for a fact; several of my games didn't work on 2k. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverfox Posted June 29, 2005 Posted June 29, 2005 xp has so many more options that make it a great os i love msconfig that utility alone deserves an award i also think its more hardware friendly than the other oses 497705[/snapback] msconfig isnt just in xp pro.....its in home, 2k, and 98 as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
