I clicked for XP Pro, for everyday use, or workstation.
Win2k is not bad either, but I think XP is easier... I didn't play enough with win2k3 to have a clear idea, and to really know what distinguishes it from win2k server. |

Windows 1.03 was actually my favourite, but it's not a choice

If anyone votes for Windows ME their IP should be banned from this board, or the entire internet. Or a beating. A beating by every board member sounds good too.
XP is by far the greatest, and anyone who disagrees obviously doesn't know how to maintain a computer. I'm kind of disappointed to hear though that Longhorn MAY not be done until 2008. I mean, that's still 5 years away. I'm only 20 right now. Heck, I could have a child by then. Microsoft needs to get on the ball. Or whatever it is that monopolistic corporations get on. |

I'm actually hoping Longhorn is delayed until '08. As part of the Microsoft Campus Agreement if I graduate from college while my college is still offering XP as part of the MSCA then I get to keep it forever. Otherwise, I have to destroy my copy and buy Longhorn--something I really don't want to do. I dislike the direction MS is taking Windows and I intend to stick with XP (that is, until I get a 64-bit processor and decide to get a 64-bit OS to run on it, although by that time maybe gaming on Linux will be a bit better...) Anyway, enough of my off-topic rambling. My vote is for XP Pro, although if 2000 had visual styles and disk performance was a good as XP I'd vote for that.

It's 4 years off.. how can you be sure exactly where Windows is going? Look at what MS said about the Xbox just a year before it was released. You can not judge your opinion on a BETA of an OS that isn't due for 4 years... |

On my laptop I use XP pro, simply because I "trimmed the fat" and it runs like a champ, I tried 2000pro but the battery life was horrid. On the Desktop I use server 2003, and the other box is BSD.
