I have used Window XP for one year.I find its functions are much better than Window 98.Many functions are newer,faster and better than before.I like Window XP very much.

I know, but it is more prone to viruses.

Well, i think that if you compare XP to other M$ products then yeah, its probably their best OS, but, linux is way better, at least from my point of view, and ive only been using it for the past 4 or 5 months, no crashes or anything.
I hate when XP crashes, with that blue screen, or lately it hasent been shuting down well, so its just not very good with me. Maybe its different with you but, not with me.

The new computer is given by my mother's friend,so we don't need to spend money to buy it.

I feel happy because I can use a better computer when compared the old computer.

Linux is way better, and yes XP is M$'s best OS, not that that is saying much. As for Aaron's comment that it is more prone to viruses, I think that depends on what your are comparing it to. A M$ OS is naturally more prone to viruses since it is by far the most used operating system, so naturally more coders are trying to break it. Dispite this XP would rank fairly high in the pecking order though, because it has a number of security flaws, but again I say what are you comparing it to, to other OS manufacturers products, yes, to other M$ products, no. The whole windows family (including the server editions) has been riddled with security flaws wich made it easy to exploit, the longer a product is on the market the more patches they can release and the more holes they can patch, so thus right now it looks like XP has more problems than say 98 but compare it to 98 fist edition and I think you would have a different story. But dispite this there are still many problems that were in 98 that they were supposed to have fixed in xp, so perhaps the trade off is worth while?

Yeah I like Windows XP. People saying "windows is the worst blablabla" is just dumb. Of course, there are many viruses - that's because there are many users, and there are many bugs - because they just upgrade a very old system into something newer all the time, of course it's buggy.

Yeah I would like Xp too, the clean GUI makes it easier to use than windows98 and things like that, but some of the features are rather annoying. I have been looking for linux for ages, I got it on a disk a few months back, but I lost the disk... Hey, this is kinda off topic, but, can you install linux and windows xp on the same computer? My friend has windows 98 and xp professional on the same machine, and he uses 98 for the internet and work, and xp for games and stuff. Just wondering.
