I was thinking of Buying WINDOWS XP HOME EDITION.

because i finnely fixed my problems with games in it, i was using leaked 29.40 dets with my video card and all games ran crappy. i put on 28.32 whql and they ran great

i did a test VS windows 2000

and guess what won! Windows XP in games and Appz

a few appz just refulsed to run or the game would go back to the desktop and crash

I think XP is worth Every cent :)

give your options

The majority of people here are going to agree and say that XP is better. There might be the few (loud) minority (you know who you are :bandit: ) but overall XP is probably the best OS microsoft have made.

Just try and ignore all the security "features" that seem to get exposed daily ;)

XP is the best OS from microsoft til now, on aspects like game support, looks (skinningsystem is much better then i.e in linux), stability (maybe not better then win2k but 99.99% as good) and the start menu is very good too.

But if you take all the years of win9x and DLL hell in consideration, I say microsoft does not deserve money for it. Do I suggest pirating it? Maybe, as M$ owe us after what they did to the competition in their early days and left us with a dos->win3.11 and then win9x that's just a complete mess. Unstable, chaotic in terms of files layout and update system, there are system files everywhere, even in program files directory and lots of the applications reside in c:windows and system.

This goes on in windows XP, it's pretty much the same. And please read this: http://217.8.136.112/awful_os.html

You will see winXP is pretty awful and not worth the money. Buying it and activating it you bend over and supports WPA, and the whole messed up system+bloated features and applications.

Buy XP Pro, then you won't be missing any part of what you'd have with windows 2000 pro.
