Xp is supposedly slightly faster (I have noticed the opposite), and has better support for old apps.

For XP to function better then Win2K you'll need a load of ram. I went from 256 to 768 and when I dual boot I find that XP has an amazing speed increase and Win2K speeds up just a bit

Mmmmm....Beeeeerrrr
Well any other os (beside ME) is fine with me. Windows ME is the crappiest os ever developed by Microsoft. Can anyone tell me why ME is a bad OS?:!!!: I can't figure it out. Really....

Hi schibo,

Why did you created this topic? Will your new emu only support XP? Or is this just a fun topic.

Btw windows 3.11 rules... :p

Cheater. I've got a copy of DOS 5.1 somewhere around here... :p

Btw, I think my laptop is exempt from the OS upgrade. It runs Win95 OSR2 :happy:

W2k / XP still seems to be the best, good I can stay put :)

I remember using it once upon a time, 286 me thinks.

I can't really remember it very well, I should find the install disk, copy the data to 3 1/2" floppies and install it again. It would be nice to work with a stable version of windows for once ;)

As for it, XP is generally a thousand times more stable than previous OS (well, especially 98). However, it is buggy and seems to mess stuff up, which I really do blame MS for.

I'll try out these tips. Thanks.

I've got a predecessor of MSDOS on 8" floppies. :bunny: They get read by a drive with a 3" diameter stepper motor in the back! :happy:

Oh, I should take a pic of my complete timeline of CPUs... Z80 & 8088 to 386, 486 & 608030 to P2 / P4...

It's true. Windows XP is buggy and it does mess stuff up. Windows ME was just 1000 times more so. :p

Well what would an example of the bugginess be? I haven't experienced any myself until now, but it's nice to know about the bugs to be prepared :)

A friend of mine had one of his games install DX5 under XP, and then he couldn't get back to 8.1, he had to reformat. Which is highly dangerous in XP, do it to many times and you're screwed. Another friend of mine was having severe network probs, and once had his entire profile (everything in Documents and Settings, too) deleted without warning.
