I voted for XP because it finally bridges the gap between 9x and NT. Now there is a single codebase, so compatibility is no longer an issue. Not to mention all the new features in XP like System Restore, driver rollback, Remote Desktop and Remote Assistance, ClearType, Internet Connection Firewall (soon to be Windows Firewall), and a ton of other things.

I would say Win98SE & Win2k are pretty much the best. Does anyone care? I didn't think so.

What is the best OS? Whatever YOU think is the best. The way I use my computer is way different from the way you use it. My threshold for the amount of blue and random fields/highways on my desktop is also different.

Running it as a workstation and have to say, its faster then XP, on par with 2000 and contains so much more secuirty and useful features. Its an awesome upgrade from 2000...I was very impressed to say the least and was very reluctant to dump 2000, but with its end coming soon, it was time for an upgrade.

rofl. That was pretty funny! :D :rofl:

Exactly, Xp is an OS with the stability of NT and the fun of 9x all together, also has the visual styles, etc..

and for older computers i agree win2k is by far the best one

longhorn is like XP with extra features but it still has the same stability and all because its built on top of it so it has to be better.

Its nothing like XP. Longhorn is going to encorporate XML and become much more of an "efficient" OS. Its a radical new deisgn from the ground up on many accounts...

XML is easier to code and contains up to 60% less...resulting in a far better and more manageable piece of software...

EDIT: Ah, saint dark, you beat me to it...

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      If you don't care to read what I said, then you prove my point. Maybe written media is beyond your attention span. Titles are not summaries my friend.

      Nobody asked... in fact, I said "I don't care about political leanings"

      TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results

      Restore will get my vote, only if to see if things are any different, doubt it though but Labour and Conservatives too out of touch and same thing over and over and over…, Lib Dem who?

      There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
