ymchan Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 My $0.02 worth.For the same hardware, WinXP would take up more resources for mostly cosmetic reasons (alpha transparency, menu shadows, etc.) So if you have the extra cpu cycles to spare, WinXP is an interesting experience.If you experiement a lot with new software/ utilities/ shareware, you will welcome WinXP's System Restore feature. However, that calls for a conscious and well-disciplined testing mentality.Win2K is the last version of Microsoft product that does not require product activation, and has decent to excellent hardware drivers available. So if you are experimenting with many different hardware or planning to upgrade hardware very often, Win2K is the best version to keep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thauzar Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 It really depends on the computer's stats, on a slower, older system 2k is the best but if you can handle XP without slowing down your computer too much, go for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simon109s Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 I still stick to my win2k pro. It serves me well since 2000. So if you are experimenting with many different hardware or planning to upgrade hardware very often, Win2K is the best version to keep. frm ymchan.Agree, I install & uninstall to experiment free babes & shareways often. It still stands. Of course, you need some 3rd party sw to keep it on top performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
