OFP Runs well with Windows ME?

[WisdoM 1]

Right now I'd have to say Win2k rpo is the best, it has stability, feaures, and almost every game runs fune on it. I'm waiting a few =months for XP to get a little better, maybe after they realease a service pack or something along those lines, unitl then I'll stick with Win2kPro, I have had my comp running for a few months now, never turning it off, and it hasnt crashed or givin me BSOD once Lovely OS, ME is just plain garbage.

I had probems with windows 2000 prof. Big problems. Crashing, freezing........... and i have had a good system.  There was absolutley no problems with Win Me. I upgrade Win 2000 to Win XP and everything is fine now. I reinstalled Win 2000 three times.

So, my final thought is that it's just a matter of your system. My system likes Windows Me and XP. Your system likes Windows 2000.

One more thing. Don't even try to say that win2k was cousing problems because i had both windows installed on my HD, because i installed Windows ME after Windows 2000. There was no other operation system on my HD. I had Win98 before Win2K.

Then go get Linuix, and then you'll be bale to play what? 10 games at most, lol. Windows isn't as bad as a lotta people make it out to be, and it's simply b/c of this hatred for Bill Gates. The Man amkes good OS's and to say hedoesnt is just in spite. Sure LInux is better, as far as stability and options goes, but thats about it. Windows has more support for just about everything, and their stability isnt that bad at all.

Regarding WinXP/2K (or even Linux) and compability etc.

What it boils down to is these few elements

1) Own competance & skills regarding building the hardware and configure the OS itself correctly.

2) What hardware parts you have, if you buy the cheapest stuff you sooner or later run into incompability problems or lack of drivers etc. Good well known brands is the safest way to go, always check hardware compability lists before buying parts.

3) Before you start shopping a PC consider and decide WHAT OS you wanna run, then buy the PC that suits that OS not the PC first without considering what OS will work (or not

From receiving "broken pc's" from clients that we sold w95/98/me/2k/xp etc machines to, statistics shows that in most cases it is the owner of the pc that just dont have the skill (but thinks he is master of the world to maintain the hardware and-or software. Typical errors is upgrades without knowing what he does, ending up with broken hardware or software/driver conflicts etc.

XP runs smoothly on even smaller machines, same with Win2000. The MAJOR important thing with these (As any OS) is to have enough memory.

We have p2-233mhz machines running XP just fine, ok their not formula-one-cars ment to race with latest games but they can surf the net, do wordprocessing etc.

Saying XP has less than 50% driver support is sorta taken from out of the blue ? XP is delivered with a Win2000 driver database which is heavily extended to include even lots of the ultra new hardware. It's not perfect, but then again WHICH OS is ? -none yet-

Comparing XP driver database to Win9X series and you find the win9x series belong to the stoneage.

Only and serious drawback for XP compared to say Win2k is the licensing part, i.e. contact MS to get it verified and all that crap. Except for that XP is far beyond any othet MS OS technically, even with (or without) the flashy GUI (which is easily and best toned down to classic gui).
