no surprise there

 

No arguements from me.

Still a little unsure about Vista though........

 

I'm starting to have a harder time administering Win2K boxes than I do WinXP boxes. Things are just failing much more often on the Win2K boxes nowadays. I loved Win2K Pro, but I think it's time to put it out to pasture.

 

well no surprises there then...but give Vista a couple of years to settle and im sure it will be hot!!

 

let say till sevrice pack 2?

 

I got a free upgrade to Vista when I bought my laptop, but am waiting for SP1 before I install it

 

Windows Me has been described as the AOL of the operating systems, but it seems I am the only one that actually liked it.

I never had any trouble with it and found it a very good system. I used the upgrade version for a clean install and it worked perfectly always. I still have two systems that I support that run on Me.

I have had tons of problems with the upgrade version installed onto win98. It was more bother than worth, but take the same upgrade disc and do a clean install and I had one of the best systems I could hope for as far as win9x family were concerned.

Windows 2K? Now that was and still is an absolute gem. Microsoft really outdid itself with that one. It certainly was the jewel in the crown, although XP did catch up after SP2.

 

ME has to be the quickest ever OS I've ever ditched, within an hour it was removed and consigned to the nearest bin.

 

Fair enough, but I have never been a gamer and none of the machines I worked or built with Me were for gaming. Not that some people did not try, but I always maintained that if you want to play games, use PS or Nintendo.

 

Heresy!!!

 

I mostly agree with the list and ratings. I also think, that the time has come to move away from Windows 2000 although for many years it was my operating system of choice, XP after SP2 is very good and better than W2K. As for ME *spit* absolute nightmare - oggler if you have used it without issues, well good onya but you are one of the lucky ones, in most cases it is an unpredictable, unstable and unusable piece of craparoonie.
