Re: OT: any other games?
Or a bit less if buying 2000, which has BSOD as infrequently as XP does... Of course, XP cheats and just reboots on the rare occasion that a BSOD occurs (which is a rarity).  But then, it can keep on going even if Explorer crashes, so things have vastly improved since the days of win 95.  Going Mac is definitely not an improvement, as you are paying a lot of extra money for nothing... you can get 95% of Mac OS X by getting a distro of Linux or FreeBSD or something. You just don't get the Mac bloat.  I forget which OS it is based on, but only the interface and some programs are Apple/Macintosh in it.

Re: OT: any other games?
I've had a bit of XP trouble, but never a BSOD. It is so much better than 98, that for a while it almost made me forgive MS for being evil, considering that I paid $14 for XP Pro and Office XP together at my college bookstore. But then I found out DOS games just don't work in XP... plus their retarded new defragger requires 15% space free...
M$ is still evil, and I'll never forgive them! Bwahahaha!!! Microsoft, I'll use your own browser and OS to slam you in public forums! How do you like that, Gates, you punk!

Re: OT: any other games?
I find that 98SE runs faster than XP and with fewer annoyances, IF I don't install too many annoying programs that fight each other, fill the registry with crud, etc. By carefully avoiding such nonsense, I end up much preferring 98SE.

Re: OT: any other games?
2000 runs as fast as 98, and does not have all the XP baggage, AND can run nearly all DOS games without problems. There are also some patches on MS' web site to make 2000 able to run some 300-400 games that have had problems for some people under 2000.
