No, I disabled all that garbage frivolous stuff in WindowsXP. I also disabled 3/4ths of the Services it loads at start-up. My desktop has loaded with no hour-glasses by the time my monitor degauses and turns on. 1.3GHz Athlon, 256MB DDR RAM, 7 200 HD. Pretty average system, too.

WindowsXP is by far the best and most customizable. The first thing I did was get rid of that "new look" and useless help menus.

I still have a Windows 3.1 computer, but the one I use has an extremely buggy Win98SE.

Windows 3.1! With DOS 6.0!! OH YEAH!

I have 3 pc's they are running: Win98, WinME, Win2k, RedHat and WinXP pro.

Looking at the poll it seems that we are only allowed to run Microsoft OSes? :\
Anyway, I've ran every version of windows starting with Win3.1 (i also tried out win1.0 just for fun one time). But I think Windows XP is by far the best OS they have brought out, but you do need a PC capable of running it. (that's the main reason I don't have it installed on the other machines)

I had Windows 95 installed on this machine until about 4 months ago. Windows XP was the only one really worth upgrading to. Win 98 SE is barely any different than my USB-compatible Win95, WinME was a joke, and WinNT/2k wasn't compatible with Win9x stuff. My Win XP machine is quite stable and, for all of the eye-candy it has, it runs pretty fast on my 333 MHz Pentium II computer with crap video and 96 MB of RAM. I don't have much HD space, though, and XP keeps bugging me when I switch users...

Windows3.11 was the least buggy pre-NT Microsoft OS. Dunno why my sister wanted 95 ... more software, probably. :roll: I figured that most of you guys would have WindowsXP Professional, you know, with CE.net and the SDKs only for WindowsXP Pro (SDK also for WinXP Home). :wink:

Yeah, I do have XP Pro. I like the NT kernel. I always heard it was pretty good, but I now realize how much I've been putting up with using Win9x stuff all the time. The NT kernel is sooo stable! Linux is stable, too (I have Redhat installed on my fried good computer, with 1.2 GHz Athlon that's 1.5 years old...), but for Windows, I got to say that I am impressed. I also like the nice font anti-aliasing. Also, the sexy alpha of Sonique2 works in all its (currently buggy) glory!

Go alpha-blended and other snazzy things in Sonique2!

John Ingalls was like 5 or 6 or 7 when Windows 95 came out, so I don't think that he has all too much experience with Windows 3.x ;).

Then again, I was only like 9 or 10, but I did have a computer with Windows 3.x on it and I did use it, and also at school.
