    Does ME have DOS on it? I cannot live without DOS.

    ME uses DOS, but I warn you, ME screws up and corrupts system files like there is no tomorrow. Of course, ME startup times are the fastest in the windows family.

      ME really screwed up my dad's Sony Laptop. It was so corrupted, after starting up ME, blue screens would come up. He installed 2k Pro on it, and all the problems disappeared completely.

            XP Pro as the OS that works very well and I love it. Linux for much of the programming stuff and other work I do - just an excellent OS, even though it lacks Dreamweaver.

              Infidel!

              I use Windows 98SE. 95 doesn't work. 3.1 is too incompatible. ME is too unstable. 2K is too expensive. XP is too incompatible and unstable.

                Riiiiiiiiiiight.

                You use Win98SE and you won't use WinXP because it's "unstable" ...

                It no longer surprises me the USSR fell as fast as it did.

                        Windows XP is, in my opinion, the best Windows ever. I don't remember any time where it fail to me.

                        Also, I use Red Hat 7.2 for my university project

                          Blah, Win98SE 4eva!! I have WinXP on my laptop and i don't like it at all!!

                          In explorer i want to set my files in a list, but when i go to another folder, it's set to those horrible huge pictograms again (i hate that!!)


                          I am a WinXP noob though... but i do like the simpler win98SE layout more than the XP... I don't care about blue screens, just click enter, ctrl+alt+del the foul prog and go on with yer "comping"

                            I haven't had that many problems with 98. With XP, the system kept crashing, startups were quick but getting to my desktop took literally 5+ minutes (I have NEVER had that happen with ANY OS. Well, maybe a mac.....)

                            NONE of my games would work. They either screwed up the monitor or simply refused to run (Yes I know of compatibility mode. That did not help).

                            Any of my other programs began to fall apart. IE couldn't function in XP, and neither could Netscape. Windows "Help" wouldn't work because for some reason Microsoft HTML decided to commit suicide, and that prevented me from "restoring" my system to when only my games were falling apart. MSN, Yahoo, Winamp, and Control Panel (!) ceased to function. The only game I could get to run on the computer was AoE:AoK.

                            This all happend within a space of 3 days. Within the first few days (1-2) I did a virus scan, and it came up with "clean". So pardon me if I'm slightly biased against XP. Let's just say I've had "bad experiences".

                            And don't even get me started on crappy Microsoft support......

                            It no longer surprises me the USSR fell as fast as it did.
                            I bet they were all using a beta versino of XP.

                              Linux, is indeed inconprehensible... it's annoying to not know the commands... I didn't want to read another 1000 pages on Linux so i just deleted it

                                Yep, WinXP is as much a step forward as was 95 compared to 3.1.
