Mex Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 What do you think about Windows Xp, I would like to know about it and how people like it, because I might go to purchase it soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darklighter Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 I have tested out most of the Windows operating systems, and IMO, XP is the best there is out there. The new snazzy interface works really well (takes a little getting used to, but it's great). You get a lot of cool extra features with it, including an incredibly useful CD recording program built into Windows Explorer. I just love the whole thing, it's great:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skate Boy Posted January 8, 2003 Share Posted January 8, 2003 I have it, and I like it. I'm not sure why most people don't, I can't find anything wrong with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCanr2d2 Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 Most of the people that say it crashes, or isn't very good, don't actually use it.... And if they do, they are attempting to run badly written programs, games, that "cheat" with the Win9x OS to get things done. It's a sign of "bad" programming that the games had to use OS specific commands to make it run faster.... It is very stable, the more RAM you chuck at it the better - 256 MB is a bare minimum, try for at least 512 MB. Make sure it is done as a clean, or fresh install, reformat the disc in setup if needed. Buy a new HDD to do this the easist if you don't want to have to back up all your data.

JediNyt Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 Its one of the best out there. It has bugs as all Microsoft stuff does but it works out just fine I think. I havent had a prob in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigTeddyPaul Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 Didn't know how I lived without it! Then again I hadn't owned a computer for about 3 years until I got this new one. BigTeddyPaul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GonkH8er Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 XP's fantastic. I Highly recommend it to anyone... for gaming/rendering/word processing/programming. Never crashed once for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfnshannon Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 eh i have problems with it - but I think that's user wise/ not system or OS wise. Its differen't to get used to - but I think its pretty cool now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Gnarly Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 its good but it crashes about, every month so you need A REALLY good computer to handle it, i mean mines good but it needs more power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeskywalker1 Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 it looks better, but it drains my ram. and i have a lot of problems with software not being compatible with the system, like virus scanners, but other than that, its good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adillon Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 it's very stable, and reminds me very much of my one true love ... the mac os. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deft Aklin Posted January 9, 2003 Share Posted January 9, 2003 I upgraded to XP from ME, I have had a lot of problems with the changeover. Ie. Nortons 2001 is not compatable and makes it highly unstable. Once I figure out what programs are causing my problems, everythign else seems great. MAKE SURE YOU CHECK THE COMPATABILTY OF YOUR CURRENT SOFTWARE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Glorfindel Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 XP is a great operating system, after you get used to it, it is really customizable, and you can just change it back to ME interface with a touch of a mouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jed Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 XP is easily the best of the Windows OSes. I've had it crash under rare and unusual circumstances, and has only happened like 5 times so far. I originally upgraded from ME, and almost all of my programs and hardware worked. Get it now!

Walwi Makno Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 XP is awesome. I've had it for 6 months and it has only crashed once (that was my fault too). I highly recommend it. However, make sure you get the full version, don't upgrade from your current OS. Format the hard drive and give it a nice clean install. Also, you need a pretty good computer to run it smoothly. I would suggest that the pc be in excess of 1Ghz and at least 384MB of RAM. I have a 1.7Ghz and 512MB of RAM (probably will upgrade this soon, you never can have enough RAM) and it runs fine.

TheJackal Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 MAC OS X (10.2.3) Its so damn good. Of course there's the problem about games: http://www.drunkgamers.com/switch0001.shtml (halarious video, look at instructions to view it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
