ok since i have nothing to do with microshit i can't answer this question coming from my friend.....he asks which OS is better in terms of compare the windoze.....he got his newest computer a little while back that came with XPos and well i reformatted his hdd and fired up redhat for him...well he ain't exactly the sharpest spoon in the drawer and needs an OS for idiots to fall back on.....his choice for the dumbass OS in the dual boot will be Win98SE, Win2000, and WinXP....all suck i know but he needs somethin else while he learns the linux ropes.....ok in terms of reliability(CONSIDERING IT'S WINDOZE!), and gaming support....he don't really need a ton of gaming support...just some of the better ones really; i think he mentioned: delta Force2, delta force:landwarrior, comanche4, warcraft2/3, half-life, ghost recon, and a bunch of other games that are like that...dunno which others thats jus the ones he specified.....my guess would be games of that genre released about same time period...newer games basically. ok first off compare XP and 2000 for him and then compare 2000 and 98....which is better off on gaming/stability? Xp or 2000...and then which is better off on gaming/stability? 2000 or 98? this is basically exactly what he asked, jus translating it; my answer to him was that he don't even need shitty windoze but he's kinda a noob and needs a fallback OS when he gets to stupid to use a real OS like linux.....l8r

win2k, it rapes you the least
smokey:
definately win2k over xp. I am even downgrading xp to win2k just so I can delete the IE folder :D . Under XP all those "critical system components" are protected in a very annoying way :mad: :mad:
xtac:
Win2k is a hell of a lot more stable than win98 so if i were u go for win2k
