well, with the latest on my computer and its misadventures, my stepfather has informed me that he has a copy of Win98, product number included. So? Is it a worthy trade-off, or would it make a huge huge huge huge difference if i shelled out some dough for 2000 or other? (besides XP cause i dislike it) |

98 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
98 isn't that bad actually....I prefer XP by a long shot though. I've heard lots of shit about ME, go for 98 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well 98 is basically me without the huge shit-factor.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
win2000 is the most stable windows OS. You should get that |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i mean me as in millenium edition.. but i do also have a huge shit factor, myself, personally. |
||||||||

get xp anus love yer avatar (as you might have guessed) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Get XP, ideally... but I used 98 for a few years and it never gave me any major problems. Faulty hardware did THAT to me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but would it be THAT MUCH of a difference between 98 and 2000? and yes i know WinME is shit. Shit shit shit. My soundcard has become disabled and now my IE is fucked. I'm sure it's due to my OS crumbling - been using it for almost 2 years now so I'm hoping an OS change will solve these fucking problems. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah get XP if you can. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hmmm...... How much is Win2K and XP, respectively? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
he doesn't like XP there is a diffrence between 2000 and '98. stability. it won't crash and give you troubles as much as '98 |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Okay ... price range? |
||||||||

|
|
shit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
:D my IE is so unstable right now that I don't want to risk installing a P2Pfile sharing program and fucking it pu even more. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
*up not pu though the irony is fitting. |

use the Opera browser! it's much better :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Perrsonally I'd say go forr XP if you can. Since I have had it, it has not crrashed once. It basically solves all its own prroblems. I hated the look of it to begin with but it grrew on me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Where can I find Opera? Oh yes, and does anyone know the prices of these products? |
||||||||

£250 forr Windows XP |
||||||||

Got for XP. Get an illegal cracked version! There. I said it. |
||||||||
|

Got? Got??! Tool. |

Infact less than that I expect. |

well i'm going to be making the big shift this weekend, so if anyone else has anything to add, please say it now or forever hold your peace. |
||||||||

|
why don`t you just download windows 2000 from kazaa lite? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i don't trust p2p file sharing programs, especially with the way my comp is running. and anyways, don't you need a product number? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the process of downloading Kazaa and then an OS like Win2k would take at least 6 hours. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I downloaded windows 2000 the other day. It comes with the product number. and it is totally 100% real. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I didn't know you could download OS's.... Where'd you get it + do you have to wipe all your data + does it involve any of that image file burning bullshit...'cause I don't have time for that. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Answer me goddamnit! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well i'll install win98 first to get my system stabilized, because now i can't even open my recycle bin and the comp thinks it might be a security risk to explore my own fucking harddrive. if the win98 switch works like i hope it will, then i'll take a gander at 2k. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
just download it from kazaa lite. type in windows 2000 professional. Then once download, right click on the file(it has the serial number aswell) and extract the files to a new folder. Then burn the contents of that folder(not the folder itself) onto a CD. then put the CD in and go to Makedisc or something. Have 4blank floppies to make the startup disks. Bobs yer auntie! windows 2000. schweet. You can probably fond XP aswell on there. good luck. |
||||||||
|

I would go for XP myself. If it was a choice between 98 and ME then I would say 98 especially if you can get hold of 98SE. If you run a lot of stuff simultaniously then either 2000 or XP is the way to go BUT if it is not a brand new system you are running MAKE SURE all your hardware is compatible before you bother installing anything. |
||||||||

|
|
alright. will do. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

If you can't afford XP or don't have a decent amount of ram (at least 256mb) I'd get win2k. It works the best of any windows OS I know of. I use xp on only 1 of my machines and only because my hardware will not work properly with anything else for some reason. The best feature winXP has is the ability to make it look like old style windows instead of that shit fluffy crap... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
win2k is the best windows os out at the moment |

I have windows XP set on the "silver" color scheme. doesn't look nearly as gay as the blue one. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how do you take screen shots of your desktop anyways? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I still prefer the classic scheme. Seems nicer on system resources to. |
||||||||

"prt scrn" button on the right side of the keyboard. Then paste into some photo app, like paint or photoshop. |
