Which OS is the best

[nikhilverma]

I actually wanted to upgrade my "windows ME" please tell me which OS should i try and what are the pros and cons of XP
:scratch:

I could be padantic and remind everybody that all versions of Windows apart from NT, 2000 and XP are not actually operating systems, but I won't.

I'd certainly recomend upgrading from ME, it's the worst version of Windows.

 

[squiz]

i voted Windows 98SE coz it seems to have the least bugs out of every OS up there that i know of
And also you cant just have one linux as there are heaps of Linux OS's

 

[bharat]

I use windows 98SE.

 

[temp]

I have XP and 98SE but I've voted for 98SE.

Only with really old hardware.

I recently loaded Windows XP Professional Edition and I dont have any hardware compatibility problems with it ... actually, i dont have any problems with it. And it is definitely better than Windows XP Home Edition .... much more stable than Home.

I dont know about u guys, but Win 98SE sucks for me. It constantly freezes and I always have to restart. Plus, my comp is kinda old.
P3 500 Mhz. I did upgrade myt RAM from 64 mb to 320 mb but still, it sucks. Cant wait to get a new comp.

i am gettign oen when me paretns coemf orm hajj...jerome u must feel my pain...i hate my computer...lol

Hey Nikhil definitely Xp is the best Os.I had ME(originally installed)but I crashed it thrice and I froze constantly.
Xp is way ahead of others.I think u have a very poor system specifications and XP may actually slow down your computer.This is because Xp comes with a lot of preinstalled features(they can be disabled).For XP it is ecomended that u have 256MB Ram.
Some of the older games meant to be run on 98 or older versions may have problems running(even in compatibility mode).
As far as hardware is concerned I have not experienced any problems.All I had to do was to download a new driver for he Vd card.
While installing it will give u a warning that it has not passed the certification test if it's less than 16 MB.

But I really love it's appearence(I use Windows Blinds Shareware) and that's why I got it.
Get Pro it's more stable.
