OT - RAM utilities -> XP sucks? -> ME is worse?

[Baron Munchausen]

Yep, Win98 seems to be the 'sweet spot' for most Users. I have often seen people say on various 'support Boards' that you should not bother with anything after Win98 SE. I wonder what the real statistics are for the current installed base of Windows systems. Is Win 98 still holding a larger chunk of the systems than any of the newer Versions? Is XP going to convince people to upgrade with its combination of Win/NT stability and Win98 compatible 'consumer' features? Or will the 'subscription' features spook people away from it? I think we're reaching a crucial point in the history of the Microsoft Empire. If people are not willing to upgrade to XP there may be an opening for someone/something else. If not Linux then maybe the rumoured "Intel Version" of Apple's OS X.

2000 looks just like 98 to me, but with added features and more crash-resistance. And everything I used on my computer under 98se works fine under 2000.

OK, OK, Imperator Fyron. I grant you your point about WIN 2000. I still prefer 98SE.

But, I hope we still agree WIN XP SUCKS!!!

[Fyron]

Yes, fisher price XP does indeed suck.

In mi experience w2k sp3 is the most stable of all MS OS.

If you have a machine that support w2k / XP, go for w2k.
If not, go for w98SE

I run W2k here and NEVER had any game NOT running on my PC. It's a great OS, the best Microsoft has ever released (except maybe XP, never tried it, but all the others ).

Y'all keep saying that XP sucks, but nobody ever tells me why!
