Author Topic: Got Win XP now... (Read 28320 times)

I'm running WinXP Pro Corperate. It is the same as EVERY other version of XP Pro out there except you use a "Volume Licence Key". Therefore it does not need to be activated. (Can you imaging having to activate every machine in a 2000 machine company???). My machine is 4 years old and I have not had any problems with hardware (of course I have upgraded here and there).

It is by far the best Windows I have ever used and it is the MOST stable WINDOWS out there................... however that said if you want a really stable system try running Linux (kernal 2.4.x) and then run all your Windows program in WINE or VMWARE.

Linux rocks

Darkness: to your post on previous page, about dual booting: you can make dual boot to any system, when you have some boot manager, like OSL2000. It will give you choice what partition do you want to boot.

couldn't you do it with boot discs instead?

Boot disks?

Well I guess you could find a boot disk that would let you choose which partition to boot off of... but that's just more trouble.

no... like LILO for linux or the BeOS boot discs. stuff like that

ok this is going to sound kind of lame but hows XP working out for you. i'm getting it for christmas and i'm not sure if i should get XP or go to ME/98. any suggestions?

XP Rules!! I would reccomend it over Windows 98/ME anyway.

Don't even put a slash between 98 and ME....ME is an OS to stay away from....at all costs.

From what I can tell, Get XP if you never plan on looking back. Get 98SE if you plan on popping in those 2 year old and older programs.

or: dual boot XP and 98SE on the same system.

hehe thats what im doing:

XP: 40 GB Partition
98: 25 GB Partition
Redhat: 25 GB Partition
BeOS: 10 GB Partition

so long as it backward compatible i'm all for XP i just don't like the search thing of the menu. some dog asks you what kind of seqarch you want to perform......

Darkness · « **Reply #86 on:** 2001-12-14 23:25:00 »

PurpleSmurf · « **Reply #87 on:** 2001-12-14 23:28:00 »

i could setup that linux machine with a bigger HD(8gd or so). and dual boot 98. might hsve to deal with the matrix lines but it would work.

Darkness · « **Reply #88 on:** 2001-12-14 23:30:00 »
