i don't see why everyone has problems with xp.

i run it in 'classic' mode (without the crappy blue startbar) and i haven't had any problems at all. infact, it runs faster for me than all the older versions of windows.

Heh, I'm running it that way on a P2/384Mhz w/384Megs of PC100 and it works just great.

Where I work we are still using WIN95 so I had a unique opportunity with this old POS hardware.

I used WIN95 on it for a while, and it performed like crap, froze up all the time, etc.

I did a clean install of WIN2k pro and it started running great. multi-windows weren't a problem, load times were way faster, etc.

I installed XP pro on it and set it to classic mode, and couldn't tell the difference.

seconded :thumbup:

In classic mode it looks like good ol' '98... There is only thing that bugs me, though - what the hell made Microsoft think I'd be putting everything in c:\My Documents :Oo: Whenever you start na explorer you have to click on My Computer to see your HDD partitions... I was kinda used to it, but since I've been using my sister's PC (Windows 98) for the last 2 months, going byck to my PC made the problem resurface in my mind

XP doesn't have a dos environment, but you could always get a dos-emulator if you need it

When I was running 98 I was reinstalling every month - with XP - 6 months now with no problems... and I am pretty sure it manages the memory far better than 98... about 2k - dunno - I jumped straight from 98 to XP... I tried Millenium for 2 weeks too - crappy stuff

EDIT: I'd stick with Linux if it wasn't for those darn games

Hehe, I had 98, then got ME for a while (6 months ish) realised it sucked, too many crashed/problems, then went to XP and have been there ever since... the only major problem ive ever had with XP is IE randomly crashing on me when i clicked cirtain links thay opens up new windows.. but i dont have that anymore, i just run it in classic mode
