CodeOptimist Posted September 20, 2003 Report Share Posted September 20, 2003 I run Windows XP Home, but also have 2 computers running Windows 95 (older hardware) and probably will have one running Windows 98 sometime as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aeros Posted September 21, 2003 Report Share Posted September 21, 2003 Wouldn't it be a better idea to make this a poll on the site's main page since thats really where your fanbase is? my $0.02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widukind Posted September 22, 2003 Report Share Posted September 22, 2003 Linux here.If you need stupid reasons to use The Greatest OS ever Invented, here's one:It makes you look smarter. Example:You walk to some nerds and say ''I just downloaded Linux Mdk 9.1 and the 2.6Kernel, Mdk comes with Kernel 2.4.21-0.13mdk so I had to do a bit of recompile.''Boy will they think you are smart. And say ''EMMM-DAEAEA-KAAAA'' not Mandrake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodeOptimist Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 Heh, don't feel bad Acumen, I had Win98 forever and didn't think I'd ever upgrade.. until a friend gave me a full copy of WinXP Home, CD key and everything! Guess they upgraded to WinXP Pro and didn't need Home anymore.. Good enough for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wijitmaker Posted September 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 Wow, lots more XP's than I though there would be... I'm surprised there isn't more MEsAlthough it was kind of buggy for some people, I personally didn't have a problem with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix-dragonslayer Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 We bought ME for two of our comps here at home when it first came out. On one, it ran perfect, the other, bug city! Blue screen of death everytime we turned around..the two machines were virtual identical, hardware and software..maintained the same, etc. Upgraded both to XP, no more problems....I've had XP for about 3 months before release, NOT ONE BLUE SCREEN!! That's says a LOT about an OS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaas Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 Windows 98 was the biggest pain in the butt I ever had (computer-wise), crash fest every day. Well, now I have WinXP Home, and it's a big improvement. It still isn't as stable as I would like to have it. And it's still a Microsoft product, meaning not enough customization unless you want to dig up some money, or not enough compatibility with all those great open sources apps/languages.If I ever have the courage I'll buy a good Linux distro, but I just don't want to do anything wrong with my laptop, and I'm not such a computer expert. You see, I have three partitions (data, backup, restore). If you make one out of them, install Linux, but then want to switch to win again I have no clue how to make those partitions again (since one is a winxp restore).Anyway, lets wait until TCPA makes me angry enough to move to Linux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAngelBGE Posted September 23, 2003 Report Share Posted September 23, 2003 Well, Win98 ran quite nicely on my baby. I had serious, and yes I mean serious problems with Win95, though, although people refer to it as the most stable Win ever.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stueysville Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 Win XP pro for me.Received a copy through my university complements of Microsoft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Avenger Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 2000. As I understand it, many still shirk the XP because it changes many files and functions around, and programmers who deal with windows often get annoyed, and some people also experience problems with it. Nevertheless, with new computers shipping with XP you can expect casual users to keep it, and as time goes on you can expect the more experienced users to deal with the change in the OS and move on. By the results of the poll, I'd say this is already happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
