All Things Microsoft > Microsoft Software
best of the worst

Win2k is more of a "business" OS. It doesn't have all the drivers and support that seriuos gaming needs. If your friend doesn't go out and buy every new game on the market and is by and large happy with what he has, there might not be a problem.
Win98se is getting a little old for the new games. That is, in the how soon can we make you buy new software world of M$.
For the newest games XPee may be the best solution. That includes doing the weekly updates to fix those critical problems that miraculiously appear from nowhere.
Not being a gamer myself, I don't know what else to say.

i do shitloads of work for friends and never charge, with friends, money is a thing best left out of it. unless you are buying stuff. i still think that win2k is the least abusive on, however, in win98, its performance is a little better
