I started with windows 3.1 then moved to windows 98 now settled happily with Windows XP. With ubuntu 8.10 release and all those snazzy features I plan to slowly move to Ubuntu and probably concentrate more on open source programming

I use Windows Xp Professional and Ubuntu 7.10

Windows XP
Windows 7 build 7000
Fedora 10

These are my preferences, Fedora for work and Win XP for night time downloads and Win 7 just for the fun of it.

i use windows xp, quite like it, and i think if i did try another OS system, then would take time to get used to it and adapt to it!

I voted for windows XP SP2 as i think its best for gaming and also your resources like processor and ram are not aqueezed just like in Windows Vista

BUT on the other hand if you have a good PC like 4 GB DDR2 800 Mhz ram a good core2duo or AMD phenom processor and a good graphics card preferably 9 series then definitely go with windows Vista, do you know why? because windows Vista supports and sports Direct X 10.0 so it will definitely be worth, in both performance wise and gaming wise!!

I use Windows XP SP3.
Never tried Vista but will try Windows 7 for sure once its fully released.

@ player - There are ways you can install DirectX 10 on XP too.

The last time i read about that, it had cause massive graphics glitches on the systems. I pray the situation has improved now.

win 95
win 98
win 98se
win nt
win 2000
win me
win xp home
win xp pro sp1
win xp pro sp2
win xp pro sp3
windows server 2003
vista ...

still to use server 2008 ... but these days dont get much time to do the experiments ...

ag_prasun · 01-27-09, 11:42 PM

did u separately install xp with sp1 sp2 and sp3???
and did you wait for the actual SPs or downloaded the hacks??

01-28-09, 03:46 AM

wat do mean by hacks here?... of course i used actual SPs

first of all i used win xp home ... by the time i decided to shift to xp pro ..sp1 was released ... so i downloaded a version with in built sp1 ...

then after sp2 was releases i downloaded it separaltely and installed it ...but faced some problems .... then i realized that its better not to install SPs separately ... from then on i only download XP with built in SPs in it ...
