I voted for Windows XP since I have that at home. However, I DO have Windows 98 at work. It's good enough, I suppose, but I wish I had XP at work too. My boss is an old man (in his mid 80's) and technologically challenged (to put it diplomatically). As I explain it to my friends, he's now losing his marbles and stealing some of mine! (which explains why I come home from work a bit crazy). Julia |

Well, I dont really play games on it, apart from that I dont have any problems with it, it loads most programs faster and programs dontt crash anywhere near as often as they did when I used XP. Plus theres a mountain of info on the web about tweaks. |

I am finding more and more than IE works for a majority of the programs I use much better than Netscape. I don't know why, but apparently I'm in good company, as our Automation person doesn't know why either. |

It is because there are all these web page building standards in place. Microsoft makes Internet Explorer deliberately no work with some of these standards, knowing that all web page designers make their pages to work primarily on IE and not some standard. This way, the other web browsers that adhere to the standards may not work with the pages properly. This is a dirty little secret of Microsofts. And who is that on your Avatar, it looks abit like Ashley Judd? |

It is the 64-bit version of Windows. It is supposed to be available now on servers only (Dell and Compaq/HP claim they have it), but I haven't seen anything about its use on desktops or laptops. |

I've moved over all all of my workstations to Windows XP SP2. My laptop runs XP SP1. I have an old games machine that runs Win98 (I can't run Gettysburg or Antietam on anything NT-based, like XP, and refuse to buy WinME.). |

WinXP Pro 64-Bit (desktop) is still beta and available only to Beta customers, the release version will be due out Q1-05. Windows Server has supported 64-bit on Itanium and x86 platforms for some time. |
