Keldyn Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 I dont think there is one definitive answer for a poll like this. There are just too many variables to take into consideration. :ermm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xEonBuRn Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 I have to say that I firmly stick by XP Pro for it's outstanding performance but I have to give credit where it is due... for pure speed preference only, 2000 SP2 is actually the faster... though XP is much better for stability and everything else, but u can't deny the speed of 2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPayne1357 Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 Seeing how ive only used 4 different OS's. I would have to say that WInxp is by far the fastest than of earlier versions of windows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quboid Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 Fastest for what? I don't believe any one can be an overall fastest. If you want a mail or web server, a unix. If you want games, possibly windows, possibly unix... Also, the 2 Linuxes should be identical I think. The different packages won't affect speed of core programs.

neowin_hipster Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 FreeBSD. NO competition. Remember the Hotmail servers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superbeast Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 The fastest OS is Win98 by far. Too bad it's pure crap. I swore off 9x OS's when Win2k was released. Win2k, WinXP & OSX for stability. Not to mention quality. Early Linux kernels were fast, but they drag ass now. BeOS is just SLOOOW. Maybe it was my install... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvorgold Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 windows xp for me since my computer sux and its actually pretty fast/stable for the computer, ive only had a few times where win xp froze and i had to restart, either than that, havent had that many problems compared 2 win 98....cept ie freezing n tabs on mozilla causing a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ab1225 Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 BeOS 5 was clearly the fastest OS ever, booted in like 3 seconds on my computer. Too bad BeOS sold all their stuff to Palm, which they have not released an update yet. However, I own Windows XP and 2000, too bad I only use Windows 2000 server. XP got taken off when I formatted last time. ab1225 Neowin Tech Support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleeper Veteran Posted March 31, 2002 Veteran Share Posted March 31, 2002 i have to say that so far Windows XP is the fastest OS that i have used. :D although Windows 2000 SP2 comes close Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nude Rooster Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 Speed, I will have to say windows xp, but with my experience i have to say that windows 2000 is the most stable that i have used so far, for the desktop. I had less crashes in 2 years with 2000 than I did the first time installing xp. ps. My XP is working fine now, and I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miran Posted March 31, 2002 Share Posted March 31, 2002 BeOS - takes a bit of work to get things running smoothly but when you do that puppy flies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prasanth Posted April 1, 2002 Share Posted April 1, 2002 well it depends on ur pc. if u have a good system 1GHz+ and 256mb ram winxp will be faster. but if u have a much older system win2k will be faster than xp because xp runs too slow on old systems.
