Windows XP here.

I wish i was using Win 95... It was the best version of windows.

Roph · September 14, 2006, 01:42:15 AM

If you're going to use a pre-XP version I'd suggest go for Windows 2000 definately. or at least 98SE. 2000 Is miles better as for stability thanks to them switching to the NT kernel.

Malson · September 15, 2006, 12:13:26 AM

95 is definitely NOT the best version in terms of features and freedoms, but if that's your preference then so be it. It's definitely simpler than XP, I'll give you that.

Arrow · September 15, 2006, 01:33:54 AM

XP is complex you say?

Malson · September 16, 2006, 01:24:25 AM

No, I said 95 was simpler.

Arrow · September 16, 2006, 02:11:32 AM

HMMINTERESTING!

And I am fairly adept with either, and have difficulty telling the differece. Would you mind elaborating?

Malson · September 16, 2006, 02:38:11 AM

Yes.

Arrow · September 19, 2006, 04:18:36 AM

Hmph.

Micro$hit Windoze XP with a Windoze CeMeNT boot screen.

veltonvelton · September 27, 2006, 03:58:35 PM

my vista has had no virus or error at all. Playing elder scrolls, using the net, using object dock, nothing.

Roph · September 27, 2006, 04:06:22 PM

Am I supposed to be surprised that your computer is doing what you're telling it to do

veltonvelton · September 27, 2006, 04:07:32 PM

no ive juast not had any problems with vista. thats kinda what i said.

Malson · September 28, 2006, 01:20:08 AM

I'm not making the jump to Vista just yet. My computer can barely handle XP, and with a dialup connection I'm hardly in any danger of getting hacked or something.

Arrow · September 28, 2006, 04:24:49 AM

Where can I learn more of this...Vista?

Roph · September 28, 2006, 09:05:17 AM

Probably wikipedia.

I imagine lots of computer users who know what they're doing are going to stay on XP. Windows Vista has DRM built in from the ground up and they're trying to move away from the GDI method of drawing the screen (so basically any program that skins itself won't work on vista until it's updated for it).

Aero requires a hell of alot more CPU and RAM than say Windowblinds 5 / WindowFX emulating it.

Maybe once people start to release patches etc I'll try it out.

veltonvelton · September 30, 2006, 10:00:03 AM

My computers pretty good i think. I also have good Directx (not that it matters) cos I bought a game, installed the dx and took it back. I dont like pc games that much.

I use XP Pro SP2

veltonvelton · November 16, 2006, 04:56:36 PM

I couldnt get SP2. A virus deleted a nessary(??) windows module.

Demon X · November 24, 2006, 03:27:31 AM

Demon X uses Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition with a lovely Vista theme, plus Glass2k. My XP does everything Vista does now, so I will not be purchasing it. Eat that, Microsoft!

:) · November 24, 2006, 03:59:55 AM

oooo ouch! media center! heard some bad stories of that.

Demon X · November 24, 2006, 04:14:29 AM

Not everything is true...

MCE is great, although I admit I spend too much time developing to give a damn...

Roph · November 24, 2006, 05:47:37 AM

lol media center edition.

Also, um, it might do everything apart from the most important thing; work with DirectX 10?

:) · November 24, 2006, 06:27:40 AM

to anyone who will buy vista
