That's why I put 2 Linux options, so that you can select both if you're running more than one.


EDIT: Had to reset poll, I forgot Vista.

I have Windows XP, with MS Virtual PC running DOS, Win 3.1, Win '95, and Win '98.  I also (usually) dual-boot Linux... I just haven't bothered to do so since my latest re-format.  :p

That would be "other"
"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

XP64 doesn't deserve do be considered an incarnate of WinXP.  XP64 is a horrible OS, it's like the Windows ME of NTOS.

It sucks.

x64 was NOT a good version of windows.  It was a hackjob OS that had way more problems than XP ever did.  The 32bit program support was mediocre at best, and the driver support was absolutely deplorable.  To think I ran that garbage OS for six months, getting BSODs and random restarts before I realized it was the fault of XP64 and not my hardware still escapes my mind.  I shudder at the idea of installing it for anybody, and the experience pushed me away from future 64bit OSs.  Seriously, it was god awful.

Once 64-bit becomes standard it will be fine. I'm sure the same thing happened with 32-bit, and sixteen. Is Vista 64 any better?

There's a difference in the industry now.  When the shift from 16 to 32 was made, the market wasn't nearly the size it is now.  Basically everyone who upgraded knew what they were doing, and things were much less complex.
