I actually like WinXP
psyjax:
Ya, back under OS 9, I have a Theme that looks like Windows 98+
No matter how you slice it, your OS is just playing pretend.
tsurulez:
I'm using windows 98+XP. I use 98 for games because almost none of my games works in XP!

I don't know what you are doing wrong. *ALL* of my games(even games that are designed to run only in Win9x..like Need For Speed: High Stakes) run like a dream on XP for me.
Maybe you have a low end video card like a Kyro II(I've heard alot of bad about thier 2K/XP drivers)? I have a GeForce(Nvidia has some great driver support backing all of thier cards...even the TNT2) and I've heard good things about ATI's drivers for thier new line of Radeon cards(ATI used to have a bad history with drivers).
You gaming problems is probably video card related. If you have any variation of a GeForce don't be using the default Windows XP Nvidia driver because it is just plain out slow...go download a copy of Detonator XP drivers(go for the 21.85's if you don't have a GeForce 4). You also may need to install chipset drivers to get your AGP working correctly. If you have a low amount of Ram Windows XP gaming performance will take a hit. You do know about Compatibility Mode don't you? It makes the app/games'executable think you are running another version of Windows...there is an option for Windows 95, 98/ME, NT4 and Win2K compatibility, to get to compatibility just right click on the executable or shorcut to executable, go to properties then go to the compatibility tab.

Damn, with all that gaming experience, you're ready for the MCSE test, actually you probably already have one.

Linux looks plain....how can that be when you have completely customizable fucking GUI's? You crazy fucktard zombie. Again throwing this random shit out and once again getting gay-bashed. You must really like the punishment. If you want fucking tricky check out enlightenment. couple clicks and my GUI looks like MacOSX, couple more looks like BeOS, or Windows2k, XP, 9x. Hey homo, bring something to the fucking table if you are going to attempt to start *NIX bashing. Take that dick out of your mouth you pile.
