The search box is in.

I don't see an xp style option though

I'll always have a soft spot for Windows 2000. Rock solid, mature, and fairly configurable. XP improved on 2000, but I just really liked Win2000 back in the day.

This installation of XP Pro 32 I have at the moment is the most stable and long serving I've ever had, it gets my vote. However I favour some kind of Linux OS, but it doesn't run too many games.

Think in terms of keystrokes. I use the run command a lot, in XP that's windows button - and up a few times, enter. In fista it's windows button, type run, hit enter.

Windows Key + R is your friend

^ win+r is my most commonly used shortcut.

I voted for xp pro 32. Simply don't have stability issues, and it has consistently done all that is asked of it with minimal fuss.

Fista Ultimate 64 flava with a few Virtual PCs for the things it won't run :p
I've found it to be nice and stable (no really) and not at all slow since I gutted the registry and services so it only runs what I actually need it to.

Still eats almost 1 out of 4 gig though D:

Ubuntu!

Well, I do like it a lot but there's that whole thing about needing to run games easily...

To be honest, I think my favorite is DOS from when I was a wee lad. I remember my dad has a little program that worked like a file browser and allowed us to run things without having to type all the commands. Good times.

I'm using Fista Business x64. I have XP in a VM, but I rarely use it.

Ahh yes. I googled it and found the artist but couldn't work out why I thought it was something to do with WWZ, which incidentally I've just finished reading a second time.

People with some taste I imagine.

Not like it's windows ME or anything.

I dunno, a lot of the games I wanted to play at the time where either 98 only compatible or XP only, so it was like the worst of both worlds.

Post by **Dr. kitteny berk** » January 13th, 2009, 10:46

Are you sure? XP is basically polished windows 2000, I can't see any reason they'd stop people using 2k

Post by **TezzRexx** » January 13th, 2009, 10:48

I believe so, I seem to remember it being the only reason I upgraded to XP
