really don't see why it's so funny people stick to an operating system they enjoy are comfortable and like? I'm still on XP Pro (ill try windows 7 eventually). If their not playing games or building huge rigs like most of us here do than so what?

Though I must say..this comment..wow

Quote:

Yep, my 98SE system is stable and I don't see many BSODs these days thanks to the support from MSFN!
Besides, even XP is sluggish on my dual PIII, and on the same box, 98SE runs better with just one CPU.


durp!

No, the problem is using a very very awful 9x kernel. You will never hear me say anything about someone using Windows 2000, for example, because it's a good kernel (as good as XP). But come on, you really going to defend the 9x kernel and its use? Laughing I mean some of them, are just... "wow" like you put it, arguing it is the most secure kernel MS ever made!

Because it's hilarious, that's why. It's like someone still claiming to use Windows 3.0 and only Windows 3.0 -- whilst simultaneously arguing that's the best ever and that anything higher is just shite.

I mean, christ, they're going on about how they can run Win9x on lower hardware, and slating XP because it has higher requirements.

...... UPGRADE YOUR FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT 486-SX THEN!! Stop fucking whining about XP requiring faster machines than Win9x does, stop being such a pathetic individual, and get with at LEAST the 2000s. Any machine made in the last 9-10 years will run XP flawlessly Rolling Eyes

Yes, only some of them use win98, but they're rare cases.

Every office I've ever seen either uses Win2k, WinXP or - in the case of my local council back in the UK, Windows Vista.

Laughing obviously been out of work for a while?

I work for a non-profit NGO (~600 employees) and we at least have dual-core Lenovos and WS LCDs running win XP.
