Sir Radfordin Posted May 26, 2003 Report Share Posted May 26, 2003 1) XP - have had fewest problems with it and greatest uptime.2) Dual Booted to Win98, would've done others if I had the time.3) I turn it on, it works until I shut it down at the end of the day. Its simple to use, its quick and does the job without casusing me any problems. As someone who works in IT, I find its a system thats easy to support, easy to repair and troubleshoot and users don't seem to be able to break it as quickly. Setting it up on a network is as easy as sleeping.4) I couldn't put it on a P166 and still expect to have time to do any work once it had loaded. There really isn't much to complain about.

Chris Posted May 26, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2003 1) XP2) Never dual boot...whats the point...?I thought that!Well it allows you run that other OS where software or Hardware is not compatiable with XP but will run in the other OS.Also allow you to experiment, run other software.Also Linux, ever thoguth of trying that? (a whole new non MS os) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nellie2 Posted May 26, 2003 Report Share Posted May 26, 2003 1. XP......... so far2. Haven't duel booted but I did think about it3. What do I like about it......... I like the admin tools where you can see what has been going on and what isn't quite right. XP also seems very Nellie friendly!! :P 4. I haven't found anything I don't like yet but it is still early days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvw Posted May 26, 2003 Report Share Posted May 26, 2003 1. XP2. Nope.3. Reliable. Glad to get away from the blue screens of 98, never seen one on XP. These days I use the PC without thinking about what might go wrong as it just keeps on going, day in day out no problem.4. You can't hate anything about XP as it does the job well.

Craig Posted May 27, 2003 Report Share Posted May 27, 2003 1) Windows XP2) Did dual boot Win 2000 with ME as at the time my games wouldnt work with Win 2000. Later on i did dual boot XP with ME, but this only lasted a day as i found XP to be so brilliant!2) XP is stable and reliable, you dont often see the blue screen of death (and if you do it is only for a few seconds before the comp reboots!).3) XP has yet to do the house work. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
