234085	2004-05-04 13:28:00	Whoops, sorry how did I screw that up... WinXP (sal.neoburn.net) Server2003 (sal.neoburn.net) Not sure on the vid card the guy used. But you are able to do some tests for yourself you know :p	PoWa (203)

Therefore my guess is that 2K will be more expensive than XP. At the prices above, even near 'wholesale', and viewing the conflictiing comments above, it looks like I will settle for XP (not Pro version - cannot see any advantage for my use). THANKS heaps for all of the comments on my Question. You are an entertaining lot :) !! Steve L (waiting for Intel 3 GHz hyperthreading to come down in price).	Steve_L (763)
234087	2004-05-05 04:12:00	When i say this topic i thought to myself "here we go another Hamstar spamfest" and i was correct. So i was already to write a 500 word speil addressing the uneducated poop that Hamstar feeds the world, but it looks like Melta and Loshing have beaten me to it. I was once like Hamstar a por uneducated fanboy, but one day i sat down installed Windows XP and gave it a real try, after that month i found that i could no longer use Windows 2000, XP was just too easy. I agree something about Windows XP are bloated, such as the insistance by windows to use windows messenger(which can be removed with Sp1) or the annoying shared folders in my computer(that can also be removed with a simple registry mod).

234088	2004-05-05 04:46:00	Well, you guys have stamped out my flame and I have lost another innocent soul to the cold grip of XP . Alas, I have failed . I have had too many bad experiences with XP, and thousands of annoyances, to be able to switch to it . To me, its a ***** of an operating system with all the old code finally cringing and coming back to bite its user in the bum . But hey . Microsoft don't care . Its not whats good for the customer, it's whats good for the company . Screw the customer . I can only plead god that I will know too much about Linux too be able to even think about switching to XP, when 2000's days are over . But you guys can laugh at me . Me and my Win2k . But I'm laughing at you . Everytime your XP crashes, everytime a game bluescreens, everytime Microsoft sneak into your computer at night and find out more info about what sites you've been visiting . Everytime you open a zip file with the shell, everytime "My Computer" takes a minute and a half to load . I will even be laughing when Microsoft makes your online experience, "Better and More Secure" with a Mandatory TCPA & DRM service pack . I'm sure there will be a lot more people than just me . So go on, use WMP 9, and Moviemaker, and all those pretty little "My" shortcuts on your pretty little resource hungy start menu . I will be laughing . Muahahahahahaha, MUAHAHAHAHAHA . . . . . Hey, where those white suited guys come from . . . why have they got a straightjacket? Who are those guys in the black suits in that car thats been sitting outside my house for days . /me gets assasinated by Microsoft Agents .	hamstar (4)
234089	2004-05-05 04:48:00	No, seriously... I hate XP with the fire of a thousand hells, and will try to save as many as I can from its deathgrip and Microsoft propaganda.	hamstar (4)

I honestly say that i have never ever experienced any of those problems, whats so wrong with opening a zip file with the shell? (i use winzip but that cause ive always used winzip) If XP crashes it shuts down the program that is as fault and reloads explorer unlike 2k that will just blue screen and become unresponsive. Hamstar have you ever used Windows XP for more than a few minutes? Ever installed it on a second partition and used it for a month? Because something is differnet doesnt make it bad, if you used it with a open mind u might be pleasently surprised	Pete O'Neil (250)
234091	2004-05-05 05:45:00	Hamstar - as you age you find that "hating" something such as an operating system is really a waste of time and energy that could be directed elsewhere. Nothing that you feel so incensed over but you can avoid is ever worth the effort you are putting into it. As time goes by you will find so many other things that need your attention. Work, love, money, kids, death, taxes and so on. Is hating something such as an operating system with such fervour going to be more important? I see many options, two of them are: 1. Breathe deeply, leave your computer and go for a walk outside. Smile at people you don't know. 2. Seek councelling for your rage. J :D	Jester (13)

Nothing that you feel so incensed over but you can avoid is ever worth the effort you are putting into it. Sure, sure... something else. Umm, I could redirect all that energy into making a new O/S that kicks MS's arse! Pete: The only time I've had Win2k bsod was when I tried installing it from a corrupt CD, and it would just stop halfway through booting saying ntdlr.dll was missing. Technically that does not account for a BSOD. Just out of interest, how many people would help with the above proposition? Paid or voluntary... I have currently got a little red book that I'm throwing ideas into for a new O/S. The hardest thing is deciding which language to use... linux (open source) or a new one. Probably won't go near an MS one as that could bring lawsuits.	hamstar (4)
