Follow Morgwen's comment...

Use Windows 2000 Pro...

You will have far fewer problems with it and YOU will have far more control...

XP is a disaster... always has been... and the XP Service Pack 2 debacle is another Micro$haft joke.

Windows 2000 pro
And use as little Microsoft software as possible.
EG:
No mediaplayer.
No internet explorer.
No defragger.

Other vendors do a better job.
And yes I know, probably also on the OS but Windows is easy.

Hehehe I love to hate Micro$oft :D

I use windoze xp only for program compadability reasons. Although you should add UNIX, Mac and Linux to your list of OS's. I've played a little with some of the bootable flavors of Linux, never used Gentoo, Red Hat, SuSE, Mandrake or anything like that.

I have Windows XP sp2 and I haven't had any trouble with it so far. I upgraded my OLD system to this OS about 2 months ago though, so we'll see.

Mac OSX users seem to have the least problems & OS9 users even less still. Go mac! Get a mac & most your probs will be solved & hey, no viruses & no firewalls needed. :D

Windows 98 uses the less resources, but its updates may cease appearing soon.

Yes and have the most freezes and blue screens.

Morgwen

Not more than Win ME. :p

Who said that ME is good? :p

I used 98se for a long time and switched to w2k... its like I left the hell and I am now in heaven. :)

Why not? A Mac isn´t immune against attacks...

btw if somebody will switch he should choose Linux, many of the software is free. For Macs you have to pay every sh*t, the same as Windows.

Morgwen

That is true. So we're told. And certainly for a major office setup you shouldn't take any chances. Particularly in regards to hackers. But I've never read about OSX systems being attacked or virus infections. The only mac viruses I'm aware of are related to OS9 & earlier. It was an off the cuff remark that generally mac users don't need to be so wary. And you're right about mac softw. We pay just as much for the top apps & there's less competition & choice. But how long could a totally unprotected windows user expect to last before a virus/other affects their machine if they utilise the net a lot.

Oooooh,

About between 10 to 90 seconds.

:eek:

I recently installed limewire on mandrake 9.1 and it works even faster than in XP. REally cool.

What ?????

You trying to rouse the rabble ?????

LOL

No fair teasing them all now...
Another few weeks and 10.1 Mandrake RELEASE will be available !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

looks like its not windows then

reading inbetween the lines (not just on limewire but all over the net) microsoft is like jordan every once hates the slapper but every one would jump into her bed, men and girls included:D

I am not talking about viruses, a firewall protect you against more things and a Mac isn´t immune against outside attacks doesn´t matter how many viruses there are or not...

If I would change my OS the only choice is LINUX. :)
