Which Os Do U Think Is The Best?

[the-ninja69]

I have Windows 2000 pro right now and i was wondering which is the best operating sytem in your opinion. Like which is the most stable, easiest, fastest, etc.

I've found windows XP to be the best overall. Very fast, hard to crash, a little tricky to configure, but worth the extra effort.--

Although I am currently using 98SE, I would reccomend XP to anyone. I have used it a few times, waiting on new HD before I start using it myself

I too use Windows 2000, but I think overall I would *just* go for XP... but I'm put off by 'Product Activation' and stuff - if it still applies, I don't really know.

I do get annoyed with 2000 a bit - not being able to play certain games, video-conferencing wouldn't work with MSN messenger or Netmeeting, takes AGES to startup and shutdown... but it definitely has advantes over XP (at least as far as I can remember - I used XP for about 3 months).

The most off-putting thing was the lack of control. I was trying to get a b*st*rd Diamond SupraExpress V.92 modem working, and it was having huge problems - the CD that came with it didn't work. Anyway, trying to un-install and re-install devices with different drivers was infuriating - as XP kept doing the "Add new hardware wizard" in the background without even letting me cancel it. So I had to keep deleting the drivers each time.

But being fair, XP does grow on you! My feelings for wanted 98 back are slowly diminishing...!

I heard XP made it easier to get new updated drives and is easier but can get annoying. Also you can get Windows XP Pro Corprate and that uses a corprate key and no activation required so i guess i could find one of those.

True but so much harder to get to grips with if uve used M$ all ur life.
