WinXP on my machines at home. WinXP on my machine at job#1, and Win2000 on my machine at job#2 (which I'm on right now)

 

[RossMAN]

Windows XP Home (soon to be Pro).

What would work better in an HTPC, W2K or XP Home?

It will only be used as a PVR and DVD ripping, that's it.

I did. Still too many bugs in the newer windows versions I'm sticking with 3.1 till they fix them. Note: I wasn't the one that voted for it.

 

[neonerd]

you forgot longhorn v. 4074 🙁

2k pro here baby! I'll never switch

I've got Win2K pro on my main machine and I had to "upgrade" my secondary/video machine to XP pro a few months back because some of the software I use *only* supports XP pro. I still haven't found anything at all to like about XP over 2K. As far as I can tell, all Microsoft did was to study what people found annoying in their other operating systems and tried to collect and enhance everything irritating about an OS into one.

I guess XP is okay for someone who wants software to hold their hand...and refuse to let go of it.

 

[SilentRavens]

My main is XP Pro. The Home Server machine is a flavor of linux.

 

[eplebnista]

Windows 98 SE :thumbsup:

 

[CraigRT]

I was running Win2k pro up until about 3 months ago..
I love Win2k and I kinda miss it in a way.

Currently XP Pro.

dont forget that 3.1 is pratically immune to all these NT worms that are going about.

 

[GhettoFob]

xp pro on gaming desktop, laptop and work pc, gento for file server

 

[CubicZirconia]

This thread has lasted a suprisingly long time without anyone claiming that XP is bloatware.

 

[ArmchairAthlete]

Recently switched from 2000 Pro to XP Pro since I got XP Pro free from my school.

 

[cliftonite]

why would you have such devotion to an OS? I am puzzled. if something works better I will always upgrade.

 

[vi edit]

2k for me as well. Been on this machine for 2.5 years now. It's run rock solid and smooth. No real reason to upgrade to XP at the moment.

The *only* thing that I miss about not having XP on here is the ability to "send to CDROM" for on the fly burning like XP has, plus the handy power tool you can download to automatically resize pics with a right click on them.

Besides those though, I think 2k is more stable and runs faster.

 

[McMadman]

98se grumble.. one of these days I need to stop being lazy and install 2k or xp.

 

[nageov3t]

I've never run any benchmarks, but XP has always felt faster to me than 2K
