Windows NT 4

Yep I used NT4 at work for two years. It was a bitch to set up (all the things you mentioned are true), but it didn't crash every ten seconds like Win9x did. When Win2k came along I though I had died and gone to heaven. I switched from Win98 to Win2k for gaming and all of a sudden I could play counter strike for 15 hours straight wihtout having to worry about the damn computer blue screening.
MarathoN:
Exactly, this is why I still dual boot Win2k, I would never switch to XP.
Win2k worked perfectly for 8 months for me, without any protection software, until I deleted Windows Installer :D
Pathos:
I like XP, never liked 2000 but its great for networks. But linux is far superior (better handling of multiple accounts). XP has little new to offer for established networks.
Would like to install 98 on a partition for dos support, the XP emulators suck for some games.
Aloone_Jonez:
Why don't you give FreeDOS a try then?
noob:
i think this is a good thread to point this out. in xp, serach the help for hibernate. follow the imnstructions to do it. notice how it doesnt work. the help file was written for 2000. also, un control userpasswords2 in run and look at the bottom, changing your password,. again, win 2000 stuff, dont work for xp. xp is a scam. software "designed" for xp will run fine on 2000. 2000 doesnt have as many issues with old programs (in my experiance). xp sucks, it is win 2000 with a nice GUI and some tweaks.
