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.

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.

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

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