[spawn_syxx9]

I do hear that longhorn will be better as should technically windows 2004 which I heard might actually be something coming out even though 2004 is virtually over.

it will be real kool if MicroSoft will release the Windows Server 2004. I believe that it will have more features compared to the 2003 counterpart. And will be more user friendly too.

ive never heard of windows 2004, but i am eagerly awaiting the arrival of longhorn. thats supposed to be good

or so ive heard

I hate it. I have no choice but to use it as all the programs I use on a regular basis are tailored for it. I wish Windows 98 was still popular. Since its what is "the norm" right now I will continue to use it. I highly recommend PRO over HOME. It is definitely the better of two evils.

Windows XP is great: except for the activation bs. But if you have the corporate version, there is no activation.
Longhorn looks promising, but I hear that microsoft may be in bed with the MPAA & RIAA (2 evil monopolies) to make DRM (Digital Rights Management) integrated into Longhorn. DRM is horrible, because it takes the control away from the user and gives it to the big evil record and film companies.
Boycott the RIAA and MPAA!

I know but how do you get a window's update with a firewall.?

Well windows xp is pretty user friendly but
it is a too user friendly because it
is a little too easy to get past the passwords even for someone
with only a fairly good knowledge of computers.

[s2city]

ive been wanting to try it...my current pc runs Windows 2000 Professional...I went out to buy the upgrade one day, but I heard people saying things about it crashing your computer sometimes...this I did not want...so I have never done it...

What do you mean rusty? Windows xp is supposed to be safe with the passwords. I mean if you lose your windows password (in case you lock your windows) nobody can break it (only by mistake maybe)

[Esl2009]

And by the way, the new windows is going to be released in 2006 (well, thats what i was told), so all you have to do is to wait for another 1.5 years. I'm sure it will be better than xp...

[AMVfreak]

XP works pretty good for me right now although there are many bugs and fixes I want done in Longhorn.

[bowti3]

I like Xp but there are to
many access problems
with all the problems these
days with viruses.

Get the Win XP SP2 which has all the security features to combat viruses, trojans, spywares and adwares. that should solve your problem of virus attacks.

[Hamtaro]

I think Windows XP is a good operating system, but it's too easy for me...
I'd like to try an operating system that's a little less user-friendly. I do like the XP's GUI, though. I kind of like older operating systems like Windows 95/98 more than XP.
Oh, and even with Service Pack 2, XP will still probably be the OS that's mostly targeted by viruses. There's so many hackers out there, that they'll probably figure out how to bypass the new features that SP2 offers.

[Zenchi]

My only problem is it's not basic enough, if you choose it to be 1024x720 for your screen, it makes it 1200x800. That's my only beef with XP, that and it's so slow.

[odomike]

I aint got any problems with WIn XP. It is ok for me for everything I have to do with my comp. Well, i will say that it is kinda slow cos of all the softs that it comes with (unlike the prvious versions of WIN).

BUT generally it is ok for me.

[IvoMan]

I have no problems the speed of Windows XP.

Your problem with the resolution might actually be ur graphics driver playing up.

The only thing I have been warned to watch out for it Windows XP SP2 as its unstable and very annoying with all the popups, I have seen whole computers just die after installing it. So If you want to install SP2 just watch out, take it slowly and dont install it if you dont know what your doing.

[DMA]

if windows is incorrectly setting your display resolution, are you sure your videocard is able to handle 12200x1800 resolution? the one it is getting set to is maybe your max. windows has way too much going on at once, pointless things are always running.

[rvovk]

I would say use it and to find out what is the best for you. I already installed Linux on my system. But to be honest I am used to Windows style. And if I started with Linux in the first place, I guess my first choice would be Linux. If using wisely both system can be strong, so it really depends on a person that is using the system, if it is fool-proof.

[sjc]

i love windows xp. i am an experienced computer user, since before there was windows 3.1

i think windows owns.

waaaaaaaaaaay better than any mac *BLEEP*...and linux seems to move slowly. i don't like it
