Need O.S. advice

I use Win2K server for my home servers and Win2K Pro for my gaming box and laptops. Stable, reliable, fast for games. Had a squeak of a time getting my Saitek X45 to work. Had to go to Dhauzimmer's driver and HazardScript. Works great now.

Won't do XP as I refuse to support MS' habit of putting out upgrades as new platforms every year. I'll look at it again in another couple years.

i have xp and i won't be paying any more money to microsoft why? coz if what u guys say is true i'll just get win2k i'd definitely upgrade from 98 though it sux...all versions of 98 suk i did the same like most went straight from 95 to xp and i haven't had any probs. my bro has win2k and win 98 and i gotta say win 95 works alot better than 98 win 2000 on the other hand is great, a nice stable OS very similar to NT. so it's up to u man get xp or win2k can't go wrong with either one 'cept for that license thingy with xp but we'll see in 2 years heh microsoft will go belly up if it's true.

Hehehehe....which is better...ford or chevy?  LOL!

I have had win95, 98, 98SE, ME, and 2000.  I have 98SE on my system now and will not go to anything else (windows that is).

ME was a total waste of time.  95 is well....quirky and a royal PITA.  2000 had some problems I'd prefer not to deal with and I absolutely refuse to go to XP.  

98SE has been very stable and minimal fuss for me....so I'm stayin with it.
