Guest deadzombie Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 What is your all time favorite operating system? While I like OSX, and I run WinXP, my personal favorite OS was a beta build of Windows 98 my brother received from Microsoft. It ran every piece of hardware installed on it. Never had a BSOD. Never crashed. Always ran perfect. Never had an install problem. I swear it was the magical OS. And it never timed out... ;) We were so excited when Win98 went gold, When our copies were delivered to us, we backed up, formatted and installed...and ran into days worth of issues...so much for a final release! If you have to, please specify an exact build of your favorite OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deryck Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 Wow, sounds like a dream OS even though Microsoft Windows XP (build no. 2600) comes close for me. Microsoft Windows 98 (build 2222) was okay, just some issues I did not like but Microsoft Windows XP is the one for me, and is likely to be on my computer for many years.

Kanecorp Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 win2k was the most drastic and wonderful change for me...until it came out i didn't know that a computer could be a stable and productive tool... even though i use osx and winxp now..win2k was the best.

Celsyus Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 Since you are asking this in a WINDOWS forums, you can't expect accurate results from the general population, but rather, accurate results from the windows freaks. :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

altezza Veteran Posted May 18, 2002 Veteran Share Posted May 18, 2002 Windows XP Professional all the way! :D Before XP, my favorite was Windows 2000 Professional. I like both XP and 2k because of its high stability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naap51stang Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 Well, the RC1 version of XP made my mind up to leave win9x behind. I threw everthing at it including the kitchen sink (and what a mess that was!). Except for waiting for a XP driver for my TV tuner, everything worked. And I threw a bunch of old dos games at it. Worked like they were suppose to. :alien: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StimpyX Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 Woot! First to vote BeOS! When I started using R4, BeOS renewed my faith in a computer's ability to go further than you expect it to, and surprised me in a lot of unexpected but DESIRED ways. XP did supplant it on my home system, since it can now do many of the things I got used to in BeOS (though there's still a partition hidden away with its name on it). However, I'm looking forward to seeing what the user/developer community can do with an open source version of the BeOS. Oh yeah, once it takes off, it should at least be a fun ride.

Timan Veteran Posted May 18, 2002 Veteran Share Posted May 18, 2002 Since its (all time) I'll have to go with Windows 98se. Fast and pretty stable for its time. And was probably the only os that my video card worked with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timan Veteran Posted May 18, 2002 Veteran Share Posted May 18, 2002 Damn BeOs was cool i used to always run that little TPOT demo it had lol. and you could install it off windows which was really nice. To bad its pretty much dead :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethernet Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 Windows XP Pro RULES!! Although I've never tried any Mac OS long enough to evaluate it; I do love the esthetics "Apple" brings to the computing arena!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deckhand Posted May 18, 2002 Share Posted May 18, 2002 windows 2000 advanced server runs awesome on my system. various hard drives, and components, work smooth no crashes or lock-ups, uptime is perfect. All my applications run strong and constent, and with an overclocked video card, everything is nice and cool. I really do enjoy good ol windows 2000.
