..but the improvement in MS anti-copy schemes is undeniable-this time,the OS actally got fully cracked only after being released.

arrr.

..remember that picture that shows a hand holding a working copy of xp right in front of that big MS board displaying "xp-30 days till release"? too bad I dont have it around anymore.. Grin

they will NEVER learn.

after Windows 2000 Professional it went downwards "XP" had the nickname X-tra Problems "Me" had the nice Massial X-tinction

98SE also wasn't too great qua stabillity it was well known of the great number of BSOD's aka Blue Screen Of Death's heh 2000 Pro was the only suitable OS from MS ever made, 98SE with the UnOfficial Service pack made 98SE alot more stable but it could never match the reliabillity of 2000 Pro.

Such a shame that all the games as other programs that exsist need to rely on the most crappiest OS maker aka MicroSoft, personally I would rather prefer Linux, onlyI would have to learn how to use it since it's not something you would get used to so easilly while never have worked with it.

Seen Linux at friend's places and it really look amazing.

and in the end: vista pwnage Wink

and only for u Obi - a possibility to use windows inside of linux:
http://208.65.153.251/watch?v=QOWeeVvhiAw&mode=related&search=

-now you can have linux, and play any game you like. Now go to Ubuntu website and get your ubuntu now:
http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
-or you can of course order a totaly free CD and it comes to your doorstep totaly, literaly, free of any charge. How's that?

P.S. I dropped mandriva and changed to ubuntu; and I'm pleased

My desktop does not use the fire effect, but the water effect - I guess there must be some of it on youtube, but I'll leave it to you to find it

is there also a classic style like Win2K is I don't prefer the 3D stuff I just want a fast, stable and reliable multifunctional OS Wink

also the reason I choose 2K Pro.

I am dwnloading that Linux Ubuntu OS right now gonna give it a go, since it does look promissing Wink

BTW I always take usage of FireFox 1.5.0.11, never IE Wink

so hey @ least it's a good way of do'n.

..as for MS OSes,I must say that 98se+service pack+nusb & xpsp2 both work fine for me (after two service packs,xp is starting to be a decent system if you tweak it a little,and if you dont mind a small stupidity here and there,my personal favorite is dx overlay speed fix idiotism)

didnt touch 2000 much,didnt really like it..kinda felt like 9x with some xp stuff imported.

well I have been running 2000 Pro for 7 years since it exsisted and it's runs much more stable, faster as more reliable than that crappy XP Pro , XP Pro needed alot of tweaking to get it right since there is so much pollution in it like unwanted things that do not belong in a professional OS, 2000 Pro doesn;t have those unwanted things, it just has the perfect professional look and feel.

Networking under 2000 Pro is also alot more to the point.

I used to think so till I lost critical data due to one blue screen of death to many. As much as I like Win98SE it has too many issues with handling memory and getting taken down when a program does something stupid.

Now since I moved over to 2000Pro more or less 2 years ago things have been MUCH more pleasant.

Tried XP and XP Pro, hate the "dumbed down for the masses" interface Microsoft is pushing. Much rather perfer a lean and mean OS that I can get "to the point" quickly as one other poster mentioned.

Well don't look at me Shocked

I was happy with DOS 6.22 SB16 and a CDrom driver. I hated when they started making games that required Win3.1 to run Angry

At first the games were cheesy Cheesy

Then some good Win95 games started coming out.

Now I have dual boot 98SE and XP (XP for work and games that require it). I have a copy of Vista extreme addition (or what ever the $259.USD version is) I received as a gift, I have yet to break the seal on it...

Anyone for some Doom?

heh Doom runs fine under 2000, even that 2000 has a much better glide support than XP pro as Vista so who would need them in the first place

in 2000 Pro I can play Glide games like Unreal, Unreal: Return To Na Pali, StarWars: Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight, StarWars: Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight: Mysteries Of The Sith, Star Wars: EpisodeI: Racer, StarWars: X-Wing Alliance all @ 1024 x 768 x16 in Glide with FSAA x4 & LOD Bias -8 on my 5500 AGP/PCI as FSAA x8 & LOD Bias -8 on the 6000 AGP

with XP this was impossible since I had to turn off the LOD Biassing to get a playable frame rate heh!
2000 is faster as better suppoerted in Glide, 98SE + UnOfficial Service Pack 2.1a is the best for the dutch version use 2.03NL
