Well, i went form 2k to xp. back to 2k and now back to xp. I really like 2k, having no problems with xp now (had burner probs the first time, but nero updated). Either one is far more stable than ME (that was horrible for me) and 98SE (best of the 9x series).

With ME 1.5 days was as far as I could go wo a reboot. I could sometimes go a week on 98se, but with 2k and xp bsod is almost an ancient memory.

As far as using on multiple computers, corp version is the way to go, not hard to find it. But if u cant, look me up.

There are settings and options of Windows XP that make it the opposite of a resource hog, and make it function (system resource wise) similar to Windows 98. All you have to do is turn off effects like the shadow text and other cool features that make it more visually appealing, any computer nerd should know that.

Linux doesn't have enough compatibility, have you ever tried to use USB devices on Linux? I'm telling, it's a fate worse than hell.:devil

I have found XP to be ok on new pc's but I have alot of problems with clients older pc's other software and hardware are taking a long time to send out updates and pacthes so older hadware will work with XP . Personally I use win2000 and have no complaints with so far.

Win98 for personal use? Dont think so, 2k pro (or xp if u tweak it). no 9x os is stable enought unless you like rebooting.

I like the idea that winXP is the best OS from microsoft(i guess all those years of crap paid off) i find it that it almost fixes itself. but i really , really hate that generic host connecting to the net.

But Linux will always rock, too sad that people aren't seeing that, this version, since it's more stable and Win2k datacenter and advanced server, it's really giving a beating to linux....

Linux will continue to be a second tier OS until it becomes simpler to use (for those who desire simplicity) and more user friendly. While Linux does have features and functions and stability lacking in Windows, you cant expect the average user to pick it up. Imagine people who have trouble understanding Microsoft OSs trying to settle into a Linux environment - it wouldnt be pretty. :cross

the only reason i use windows is coz it peripherals compliance. linux is hard when it comes to usb devices and drivers, etc. if all the devices i have was linux compatible, linux who have been it, no questions asked....

The main thing that shocked me with Windows XP is that it took me three weeks before I could crash my computer, and believe after the first week I actaully started trying to crash my computer (not going to extremes though) it really started to freak me out when I couldn't do it. (That's usually my natural ability with computers, hehehe):wings

Windows XP is as good as its users. It can be a resource-hogging beast or a fast and eficient OS, depending on how well you tweak it. A clean install of XP on a decent system and wise use of system restore for those more adventurous software installs, and yo8 can keep your system running like a blade on ice for ages.

I'm all for Linux and open source, but it just isn't ready for primetime yet.

Vladd44

May 3rd, 2002, 10:57 AM

well vanstreet311, i find myself in the very uncormforable position of defending a m$ product.

ME, yes its trash. 2k pro, First good os microsoft came out with since DOS 3.0 .

2k is stable, xp is about the same regarding stability, but with some additional bells and whistles. Some useful, others annoying. But overall a good dependable os for the masses.

Linux is a great os, but until it has the software availability that people want, its a microsuck world.

But I like CIV3, madden 2k2, winmx(yeah I could use Lopster and it has may priority features I like..but 1 server at a time), I like gnucleus,At least my choice of web browser Opera is available for Linux. I like trillian.

These are just some of the many programs I use on a regular basis. Sure some could be replaced with others for linux that would achieve some of the same goals, but many others that I use cannot. If there is a linux equiv to trillian, then plz tell me.

Thats why Im not running linux as my primary os. which is more than you said about xp. tell us why it sucks, not just that it does.

:shy Thanks for the last reply Vladd, after watching a friends comp with 2k pro for 6 months and no problems I think on the next big crash I will do the deed. I am now running 98se,but I am using Win Dr to help. But it works, so just saying it sucks doesnt help a lot. If you learn your sys and take your time almost anything will work, sorry but not ME.

heh, i've been tryin to crash my computer for well over 3 weeks now ; ever since the guy who sold me the software told me that XP was "uncrashable"
"Pah", i thought......"ill soon show them"

but i was wrong. i can't crash it. i've failed! *sob*

May 7th, 2002, 01:16 PM

well lurgee.

if you have a cd that was an unsuccessful burning of a avi, you can skip step 1.

1. burn a bad avi onto cd, need a failed burn. (if you dont have one just overburn an impossibly large avi onto a cd) it will fail.

2. after burning try to rightclick properties in windows explorer (the bad file on the cd)

Something to that effect would recreate the sequence of events that caused my first crash.

i did have xp and i crach it in like 2 days .. (i mispell my bad) but dont feel like fixxing my spelling error anyways that why i want back to ME doesnt mean i like ME i hate it .... and the reason i dont go back to 98 sec, is because i have a lot of programs that i made that on 98 they wont work .. on i have to fuck with them i get lazey (again bad spelling) so i just stayed with ME

ps im just waiting for lindows to come out .. but i dont think its comeing out though cause MS is sueing the s**t of of linux because lindows sound to much like MS which you know that not true its because MS knows that if that comes out windows is going to s**t ..

sorry again about that bad spelling laters

I upgraded to XP about two months ago after the upping the RAM on my Duron 800 to 256 MB. I've found it to be very stable. It's probably hogging a lot of my resources, but I'm not really noticing too much and I haven't really investigated any options for streamlining XP (any good weblinks on this subject would be appreciated).

I've only crashed XP once and that's while running WinMX 3.1 with a primary network connection; once I switched to a secondary connection, everything was back to normal.

OK, seeing as there's some hardcore XP fans on this topic, here's a little question. Winamp no longer recognizes ID3V2 tags on my MP3s. Anyone else had that problem? Any suggestions?

Cheers,

oh hell i will tell u what winxp is all about , it suks, unless you have exactly all the right hardware, now this is winxp professional, the home edition out right stinks, i have the brought version of home edition xp it suks like heck. i didnt put it on my computer just my fiances, boy he went through hell. i didnt want that spyware infested shet on my computer, even winxp professional is better now though, its acting pretty good, but gets very pissy if you add new stuff, let me tell u i ran a linux box before and it was good, however being i am a newbie in unix, i was able to maintain it, *bak in 98 and 99* but the point is i would advise you to stick to windows 98 or the second edition, by far i can add tweaks to it, and as well cracks or whatever the heck i need to. winxp professional has pluses but i dont want that garbage on my computer, i stick with windows 98 second edition, ok i get a blue screen of death every now again, but then again, i just dont load any type of garbage on it, ok maybe some p2p programs and the such, but if you wanna get winxp , good luk, but the professional version, and be ready to go through a hell of a lot of changes too. go and buy a book, or have a second computer available for internet access, that way if you run into problems on xp professional or the home edition, it might lock on your computer, but unlike the home edition, where after a set number of times you install the version it will require you to call up micro*crap and seek a code to allow you to reinstall the software. windows xp home edition is pure crap, the professional version is better. but i aint putting it on my computer. so if you dare put it on your computer, back up your computer, and install a clean install. good luk, cuz you will most definitely be needing it.

You repeatedly mention that you don't want "that garbage on [your] computer", yet give no real evidence or complaints backing up your hatred. "Boy he went through hell..." Okay, what did this "hell" entail?

I suggest you switch to Linux before you pop a blood vessel in your forehead. :-P

i love xp, i had me and got pissed with it crashing every 5 mins. in nearly a fortnight since i upgraded to xp my puter hasnt crashed once! xp rocks. period!

riderx: ur completely rong. say, 9x/Me has some system files deleted and you can't boot into windows. wot is the only thing u can do? format and reinstall. with xp u can use system recovery that reinstalls windows without u losing any of your files or settings. surely the best improvement! an u dont need a book, xp is easy to learn. even my dad who is 56 learnt it after being (not very) used to nt4. all he could do would be to use word, internet explorer and outlook express. he loves xp!

I've watched this thread for days. I have had 3 operating systems this week, including Longhorn.

Really people, just because you cant figure out how to load your mother board and chipset drivers, or straighten out IRQ conflicts, or what the services do, DOESNT mean that an O/S is crap.

serrebi101, I will be glad to help you tweak your O/S, hell I could teach a monkey to tweak an O/S. However, and I am saying this to all of you, there is no magic pill that optimizes your O/S and makes you breakfast. Even loading a tweak utility puts you in a certain danger, if you basically have no plan, or not know what you are doing.

Reggie Jackson is qualified to say whether or not a certain brand baseball behaves differently when he hits it. I am qualified to tell you whether or not an O/S performs properly "in the correct environment"

When you properly install an O/S, on good and sufficient hardware, and defrag after, use apps that arent crappy, you are very likey to enjoy the benefits of todays O/S's.

riderx, what Jared592 quoted you on was just crap. Even in the context you try to set, it has no validity. You guys stop taking the lazy approach, learn to use your O/S and apps, and you wil have a much better experience.

If you want help, or where to find additional info, ask me, that's what I am here for.

Do it now! cause if you did, you wouldn't have any of these problems, some progs don't work, still, and stuff, but the o s is pretty stable, I've only seen 2 errors in a week, and that's only because I use a screen reader that takes up lots of mem,

LOL, totally agree w/ Krell on this one, I personally like XP, but like the age old saying goes "you can never please everybody" and besides w/ so so many different components out there and all the different combinations possible there are bound to be many idiots that just blame the OS rather than trying all the other possible avenues

XP will seem as though it runs like crap if you install it on a lesser computer. (i didnt have *TOO* much trouble when i was runing XP pro on my 233 but then i knew enough to turn a lot of the bells and whistles off (no offence to anyone)

PC BOOSTER

Its not free _ but i did find it on KAZAA and its speeded the hell out of my computer.

the best part is _ its easy. you just have to make sure you turn everything of before running the program. and you can also customize it manually. But iam not expert so i just used what it gave me.

I hear that, same with me. All the Kernel errors amazed me. I had errors like missing VXD files. Random crap like that. I just about shot myself until my friend gave me a copy of XP pro. Still using that 2 years later. The tweaks make an amazing difference in the zippiness of it too. It's not even the same computer afterwards.

man, XP sucked on my computer. the system idle would always be taking 90+% of my resources, it was always bogged down, and the damn thing wouldnt stop grinding.

ME has kicked ass though on my comp. Very stable and fast.

Krell

June 7th, 2003, 07:48 PM

Unless you mean 90% of your CPU usage, I dont know where you come up with System Resources. If it DID use that much, then your system was below the acceptable specs, or you had a service or app that was hung up.

The grinding is indicative of not having enough RAM and needing to cache heavily to the hard drive, and constantly change the page file.

When you get a faster system with more memory, give XP another try. Once you turn off some services and fade effects, it's very stable.

Windows xp for sure. I agree with the "after tweaking it" part.

I tweaked, removed un-needed services and startup items.

Regularly defrag, and I DO NOT USE NORTON SYSTEM WORKS.

I have used system works or windoctor for 5 years. Im here to tell you, no matter what it seems like or what norton says, and I say this as someone who really likes norton, Norton is NOT for windows xp.
It caused more problems than fixed. Yes I use NAV and NIS and they work great.
But for system file, index and structure services for xp, I just use chkdsk.
Either from the command line in safe mode or automatic fix on next boot thru windows GUI in disk management

Also, in my opinion, you need at least 512 ram for xp to run properly. Doesnt matter to me what MS says on the requirements.
XP loves ram

I also DO NOT instal something intended for win95 and expect it to work great.
I DONOT install xp on Fat32, only NTFS< comeon people, XP< extensioin of NT< New Technology FIle System?

lol i almost crashed mine the other night messing with boot screens and such....i accidentally used a bad login screen so it wouldnt boot up right...i had to run the repairer from the XP disk

I have olny ever crashed it once in 1 1/2 years even with the tweaking and crap i try...i screwed up the internet once so u couldnt get it to work at all so i figured i needed to clean up some junk anyways and i just fdisked and started over

other than that i like how it looks nicer than the old ones when u get themes that start messing with colors...alot of the older themes just looked tacky and the norm was much better

Still wanna up to XP pro here soon (a free version of course)
