XP is actually quite a reliable beast, and it's helluva more secure thank 2K. My mate in uni who did networking for his degree last year used to take the piss by logging into folk's machines running win2k for ****s n' giggles.

I have XP Pro on my main and WinME on two slaves (ME beated out 98 because of its auto detect network system, which is a hassle with older windows).

It's not really all that bad.... for browsing internet on FireFox..... that's about the only thing it can do. :p

XP = resource hog

Actually...XP = same resource hog that 2000 is but it depeneds on what you turn on and off.  XP stupidly comes with half a dozen useless features and settings turned on.

Turn them off, turn off Luna, turn off the messaging, and all that stuff thats totally uneeded and you have something that consumes the same resources as 2000.  Its just 2000 never came with frills because its server/business oriented.

MS needs to make sure they have a good looking presentation but that under it...that its as efficient and smooth running as possible.  Extra features and doddads can...just...go...

Thats me :D

Yeah but it was a bigger pain in the arse to use. After having used a multi-tasking operating system you can not imagine the monumental pain in the arse it is to use 3.1.

Oh look. The hourglass has come up. Stop using anything on the computer and wait for it to go away again.

I dare you to use 3.1 for more than an hour today without tearing your own hair out in faustration.

The waiting in 3.1 wasn't too bad. But God, Allah, and Buddha help you if you try to install a new device.

Windows 98 can be annoying to network at times, but it is well worth it considering how crappy windows ME is.


I had a laptop with Windows ME on it and it couldn't even surf the net without giving me problems. For months and months for no appearent reason, 10 seconds after I dialed into the net and connected, it would totally freeze. After the restart it worked ok, until the next day when the fun would begin all over again. One day it just decided to work.

Another one of my "favorites" was that it would randomly make a really wierd sound (from the speakers) and then freeze.

Putting a pirated version of 2000 on it fixed both of those problems and much more. :D
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside
