[PvK]

I've heard from several people having problems with XP trying to run some older games.

I prefer Win98SE for myself, because I like my OS to be simple and do as little unwanted nonsense as possible. However, if forced to, I'd use Win2KPro sooner than I'd use XP. XP is an emoticon for cringing in pain and sticking one's tongue out. It's designed for the computer illiterate, which is about the only thing it does relatively better than Win2K. Since I already know how to use Win9x, WinXP's new design is mostly just insulting and aggravating.

WinXP has the evil activation scheme, too.
