Michlo Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I've used 'em all and I've been enjoying Vista since beta. I have 32 bit on one machine, 64 on my new gaming machine. Flawless so far but I know others haven't been as fortunate. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTerminator2004 Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 When I absolutely HAVE to use windows (which is annoyingly often - whenever I want to play most of my games, for example), I always use XP. Its modern enough to run everything I have, except for a few older games, fine, and compared to Vista is pretty lightweight - even before I've stripped it all down and disabled half of it for extra speed. While it doesnt run nearly as fast as my Ubuntu setup, its still pretty speedy, and even on my relatively outdated pc, can run most modern games surprisingly well with it, which wouldnt be the case with Vista. Overall, its by far the best version of windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gandalftw Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 What no Commodore 64?1982 My first comp, 8bit, 64kb ram.Capable of 16 colors.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_64Bought my next comp when win95 came out. $3,000,ouch but had to have it.I didn't want xp at firstbecause i was reading about all the problems people were having with their dos games and how unstable xp was.That was until i could no longer run the new games,even with my brand new 3d, Intergraph,accelerator card.Bummer,so i went xp and was glad i did,ah,eventually.Now here comes dx10,Aw,man give me a _______ break.Anyway, here i am with my brand new vista machine.Vista is evil,possessed,not kidding,until i made a few tweaks.I may regret those tweaks but i'm keeping my fingers crossed,makes it hard to use the keyboard but it's worked before.So far, so good,been running pretty stable.Except the odd win explorer crashes @#$%$#&*$@#.If i have to i'll go back to xp,it's just wait and see right now.......

hoots7 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 I voted for Xp and I thought I was the only one who actually likes mE.Windows 3.11 was better than 3.1 & added networking features, it was OK.95 was a big change, had problems but also added a lot of new features.98se was the perfection of the 95 engine & I still like it.So why do I like mE? because I can easily network it to my Xp machines & it has improved multimedia capabilities, I prefer it to 2000 as a home or game PC.There are a surprising number of later (not latest) games that I can play on it & still play my old DOS games (no DOS box required), the best of both worlds.I play Thief & Dune2000 all the time on my old mE laptop.For now Xp is the best windows available so I will stick with it as long as I can.

LHammonds Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I voted for XP primarily because of its stability. Seeing a GPF message left and right in earlier versions of Windows was just too frustrating. I tried and evaluated Vista for my workplace and it was just too quirky and problematic to roll out. Besides, many of our apps were simply too old to run on it. When I eventually get Vista, it will be the 64-bit edition and primarily for the games more than anything else.

LHammonds and hopefully oblivion and loads of other games will work on it... Col John Sheppard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
