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.

I would never use XP again, it runs 50% slower than Windows 2000, and I dont use the themes so there is no point for xp for me.

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

    • I wonder how many are laid off for cost savings, and this being blamed on AI to make it sound less scary and bad, for a more positive "modern, with the times" spin for investors? Because Oracle is down 14% the past year. We're also looking at a company struggling here.
    • AI is the beginning, wait until real robots replace more jobs, specifically jobs that require physical work.
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it by Hamid Ganji There’s no question that AI has become the hottest trend in workplaces, and every company is trying to adopt AI-driven solutions across its operations. While some industry leaders repeatedly say AI won’t lead to massive layoffs, recent data suggest that AI is actually one of the main reasons some companies are reducing their workforce. According to Oracle’s annual regulatory filing, the company has laid off about 21,000 employees, or 13% of its workforce, amid increasing AI adoption. “The adoption and deployment of AI technologies across our operations have resulted, and may continue to result, in reductions to our workforce,” Oracle said in the filing. The software giant now has approximately 141,000 full-time employees, a notable decrease from 162,000 during the same period last year. Restructuring expenses, including severance payments, cost Oracle $1.84 billion in fiscal 2026. Additionally, around 49,000 Oracle employees were based in the U.S., while approximately 92,000 were employed internationally. Like many other companies, Oracle has fully embraced AI and concentrated much of its efforts on the technology. The company is also a key participant in the United States’ $500 billion Stargate Project, which aims to build multiple AI data centers across the country. When it comes to AI adoption and its impact on the workforce, opinions remain divided. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, whose company has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the AI boom, recently said in an interview that attributing job cuts to AI is a “lazy” narrative. “The narrative that connects AI to job loss, for many of the CEOs that are doing it – it is just too lazy. AI has just arrived, how is it possible they're already losing jobs?” Huang said. However, statistics and recent reports tell a different story. According to Layoffs.fyi, 196 tech companies have laid off about 119,800 employees so far this year. Reducing staff and replacing roles with AI agents could become one of the most significant trends in the job market in the years ahead.
