my two cents here is win 98se ibm,i had it on my thinkpad,never failed once!i payed with them all from the dos promt days to win xp pro.worst win me and win xp upgrade!bad dog,bad!$%^!@# everwhere.i know run a full copy of win xp pro and its very good,but it is not without bugs,holes,patches and all that jazz!and what worse the is no os/2 or anything else out there,linix,red hat! dont be silly,homey dont play that!so as far as i am concerned ITS ALL NUMBER ONE {POOP}and the worst thing is we pay good money to watch bill gates eyes light up! :oops:

I have to go with XP Pro. I've used every Microsoft OS released to the consumer market, my favourite for years was Win98SE I switched to all the new OSs but always switched back to 98SE. It took a lot of courage for me to finally decide to switch to XP Pro especially after seeing WinME. But I couldn't be happier, and I would never go back to 98SE. XP Pro offers everything that its predecesors offered and much more. I have to say that aside from the annoying updates for updates, it's a mighty fine OS. Hey it's Microsoft, you can't expect perfection.

Hey wrbonfield
Just too let you know I have a built my system from the ground up using xp pro and didn't you know XP Pro has everything win 2k pro has and more. XP Pro and XP Home are based off of different OS. XP Pro from win 2000, XP Home from WIn 98Se/Win Me. I have never had a hard reboot or a BSOD. I ahev been up and running since Oct of 2001. Have gone through 3 mobos and 2 CPUS, and Countless other hardware.

Currently I am Running an
Nforce 2 Asus A7N8X Deluxe
Athlon Xp 1700+(1.47) OC to 1.83= 2200+
Radeon 9500 Pro
512 MB PC 2700 Corsair XMS
WD 60 GB HD Master
WD 120 GB SE Slave
HP DVD 200i

and tons of video editing equipment.

Like I said no instabilties :lol:

XP Pro gets my vote. Stable, clear type interface, excellent driver support, easy networking configuration, to name a few.

win xp pro to me is the best ive used 95,98se,me,2000 pro and xp pro is the easiest to set up and use the only down fall i have with it is its so picky about devices that it will support.It doesnt like alot of the older stuff especially if it not top of the line devices.

I'd have to say Windows XP, too. It is so stable; far better than Me was. It actually runs faster on my 1.2GHz Athlon box than did Win98, but it runs terribly slowly on my 366MHz Celeron. Both have 512MB of RAM.

Also i love the driver rollback feature.
