I was looking at the same thread at [H] about a week ago. XP results here are roughly double theirs over double W2k. I liked XP, but the copy I barrowed developed a flaw in the crack, about 2wks after installation. I pulled it before I got to exprence the MS lockup. I've had other similar experences with barrowed copies. I decided to go back to W2k, Til I buy a copy.
there a few things that i don't like about MS current efforts:

1) you need a copy for ever computer at home, work ok, but home? In my house thats, 5 copies. Not until the the price drops considerable.

2) I don't like the idea of MS running around in side my rig, without my permission.

3) MS just assume they have too rights, considering $$$$$ they made, and the # of operating systems I bought over the years.

The best overall Is 98se considering the overall benifits gains over the others and the # of years of viable service it has provided. I'm running W2k, because it's modist preformance gains are nice, and my box is my box. theirs my $.02 worth. :thumb:
