| 868834 | 2010-03-23 19:40:00 | thanks for this, i love to see what operating systems suit people | goodiesguy (15316) | ||
| 868835 | 2010-03-23 20:42:00 | I don't really mind. My only criteria is it is NT based, so I am happy with 2000 or XP or whatever, haven't really tried Vista or 7 but they probably be ok too. The reason I am still on XP is b/c it works and it saves me the hassle of setting it up. If my computer was set up with Vista or 7 at the beginning I prob just keep that. I have a lappie running on Windows 2000. Before I didn't like the XP style, but got used to it. Prob the same thing happens with the newer OS. I don't like Linux b/c it has a steeper learning curve. 32 bit fine for me now, 4GB is plenty. Saves my time, hassle and money. If I was supplied with more RAM and a 64bit then I equally as happy. That's about it. PS: If it was my most memorable OS maybe Windows 2000. I just installed XP at the time of my PC purchase b/c it was current back then. Also some of the image s/w I used required XP. If Windows was still current, I would of used that until today and have no need of switching ... |

| 868837 | 2010-03-25 08:57:00 | Tried linux (ubuntu 9.10 - but it was buggy as)... Depends on the hardware I strongly suspect. I have been using various distros of Linux since 1998 and am currently using Ubuntu 9.10. On my system is it nearly 100% rock solid. |

On my system is it nearly 100% rock solid. I find it is ok, but sometime will lockup for no reason. Also is more demanding on the battery than XP is. |

| 868843 | 2010-03-31 22:52:00 | XP for the very few things that require a bit of knowhow in linux and Puppy linux for speed and safety.I use Puppy 98% 0f the time but now and again XP as I am a bit thick (and 71 years old) but I could survive on Puppy. |
