2000 is better than XP. im a competitive gamer and many factors come into mind why windows 2000 is a better OS for gaming. your in game sensitivity is the same in ALL games in windows 2000 whereas in xp it differs. when you have windows xp you also need to use a mouse accel registery fix. games run more stable on windows 2000 than windows xp.

going from win2k to xp pro takes time to get accustomed to everything.

edit

the only reason why i moved to xp pro was because all the tournament machines are now ran on windows xp home or pro.

long live the 4 years i used win2k. you wont be forgotten.:)

xp is too bloated,i was wondering if there is a way to strip down xp or some other windows

i'm getting a new computer soon and i'm going to make it basically just for gaming and i've been thinking about whether to go with 2000 or XP. currently, i'm leaning towards XP and just thinning it down a little, turning off some useless stuff and such. it's not too hard. plus, if you computer is good enough to run relatively recent games, it should be plenty good to run xp, even if it is a little bloated...

but 2000 is always good. whatever suits you best :)

i would go with a custom made windows xp embedded gaming edition made by me, increases performace in games by at least 25-150% depending on which game your running, some quick numbers on my pc in 3dmark03 i got a good 3383 on normal clean xp, and on clean formated installed windows xp embedded gaming edition (custom made by me for my system) i got 4628, i donno what % that is, but thats an amazing improvement

    • The problem of course is simply that government does not always know best. My point is that agency is taken away from the EU consumer in these cases. I'm sorry, but I do not believe that governments (politicians) are inherently good, and "looking out for me." Primarily they look to themselves and their own personal desires first, foremost, and always. When the EU or the DOJ fines these companies, claiming to "represent the welfare of the consumer," how much of these billion-dollar judgments are handed to the consumers they claim to represent? Not even a dollar, as I've seen. Yet the EUC lawyers who are paid to sit around and dream up these suits make huge commissions on the fines the EUC adjudicates, which is an ironclad fact I hope everyone is aware of. It's also rank corruption, of course, but that's another topic. Last, when the EU inflicts these judgments, or the DOJ, take your pick, the costs are bundled right along in the cost of the goods and services these companies provide the consumers they are "looking out for." If you are someone who believes his government is his savior then you have my condolences. I think Apple is right here, because the whole scheme of consumer choice is that consumers pick and choose among the products companies offer. Microsoft Windows is more compatible with third party software and hardware than any desktop OS on Earth, which is my sole reason for choosing it. Just because the EUC forces companies do certain things it knows the companies do not want to do, "or else", has no bearing on consumer benefit. This Siri thing is almost idiotic it's so infantile. But this is what the EUC does when the EU in Brussels becomes cash-strapped and needs a big infusion of cash. Some people get upset by "big companies" but it's the opposite when governments dwarf the size and scope of these companies, which is so obvious it hurts.... I mean you can't honestly believe that forcing Apple to do things with Siri it has its own reasons to decline is something that "opens up" Apple, do you? Say it aint' so...
    • Looks like many years since the request was made, a directory tree view finally may be added. https://github.com/files-community/Files/pull/18537
    • There's this from last year https://gist.github.com/threat...364659a8887841aa43deca4efd9 but nothing about a buffer overflow that MS somehow can't code against. No matter what, it makes sense to take a "protected by default" approach.
