Yeah, yeah, I know, this is one of those “debatable” topics where there is no right answer. I’m asking you, what is your all-time favorite version of Windows.
September 8, 2004 at 10:38 pm #38502MartinBradleyMemberI had to vote for XP. For a long time I used Windows 98, then breifly upgraded to Windows ME. I didn’t like ME, it wasn’t great. Then I decided to go for XP, to be fair, its a very good operating system, nice and stable (for me at least) and SP2 adds more to an already good OS.
September 8, 2004 at 10:43 pm #38517_Max_MemberAfter hearing things and having experience myself, it seems like windows ME has the most problems…just stupid ones like errors and junk that always popup and never work its kinda hard to explain…i like XP I used to use windows 98 (Plus) that was good (compared to ME) but my all time fav is XP
September 8, 2004 at 10:48 pm #38505RabidKittenParticipantMy mother adores the 98 SE, but I’m sorry, to be honest I have to stick with XP pro. Probably because I dont particularly hate 98, but I’d rather not use it. And ME was crap on a stick. Used 3.1, 95, ME, 98, 98SE, XP home, XP pro, so I can’t say much for 2000 or NT, but I hear that NT is good too. Just can’t say from experience.
September 8, 2004 at 11:12 pm #38512AnimeUSAParticipantWindows 2000 was great, and I still love it. It is basically Windows XP minus the tonker toy look and bloat. 🙂
Windows XP is still good, though.

Yeah, Windows XP was built on the core of Windows 2000. And personally, I like the “Fisher Price” look of XP :p
September 9, 2004 at 12:09 am #38506RabidKittenParticipant*hums* Fisher Price Knows…
Anyway, I don’t particularly see what you mean by the bloat and tonker toy look, mine looks pretty normal as far as I see, but who knows, as stated before I’m nuttier than a banana nut bread loaf. *cackles*
September 9, 2004 at 12:19 am #38493DavidParticipantWindows XP Professional.
You can tweak it to run like Windows2000, and you get some extra features (Heh). Not only that, but WindowsXP runs on the widest range of hardware and has the best driver support I’ve seen.
Of course, Both Windows2K and WindowsXP are NT are the core. =)

Clearly you’ve never used Linux, BSD, or UNIX?
Bill hired programmers to do most of the work after the first version of Windows. I applaud Microsoft on their superb marketing skills though, they have successfully made most people think that other OS’s don’t even exist.

Then how can you say Windows is the ‘best OS ever’ if you haven’t used every OS? =)

haha well I would have said Me until I got my new computer which runs on xp, I like xp more because you have more ways of veiwing your files and you can use autofind feature to find which program opens which and etc.

Hey, don’t diss old-school Windows 3.1. There’s only one computer(out of the four) in my house that can play almost all DOS games, and that’s the old one sitting in my basement. It is da bomb, dude… it’s like, a gameboy, it’s got tons of old-school games like Wolfenstein 3D, CornCob, Clyde, Duke Nukem, and some other awesome ones.
I have heard tons of bad things about Windows ME, but since I haven’t tried it, I’ll take your guyses word for it.
Anyway, Windows operating systems are always getting better and better, and I’ll have to say that Windows XP is certainly the best. The Explorer is da bomb, and I think the Fisher Price look is sweet.
Umm… sorry about da ghetto talk. 😮
