I just got from work after finishing my first part of formal training on windows XP. I like what i see. I'm not big in the whole xp colour scheme and desktop but at least i can turn that off. They've taken 2000 and ME and blended them together and they actually did it right. As always M'soft already has 5 or 6 service packs to be released in the next couple of weeks and a warning to al of you using cracked versions of xp. On your first wnidows update you could run into a very big problem and find that your version is no longer cracked after the update.

[FeelTheRT]

pfft, who's stupid enough to use a cracked OS? I've got my very own CD-Key .

I'm still liking all the new stuff ppl are making for linux and unix os's. The GUI are incredible, and the little x-tras like TCP dump etc. are soooo awsome. I wish game makers would realize the AWSOME potential of makeing their games run on alternate OS's. It would be MS's downfall. Because games are the only thing that is keeping windoze on my PC.

And thanks to T-bone for making win98 barable with litestep!

by the way, you might be using you're own CD key, but who is using you're key?

help...

Okay, I just downloaded windows xp on kazaa...I tried installing it today but when i click on the icon to install it says:

C:\windows\desktop\winxp.iso.exe is not a valid win32 application

So i don't know what I can do to install it on my computer. Is it because I downloaded it and so thats why I can't install it on my computer or what?...all i know is that it isn't workin the way i hoped it would!

[FeelTheRT]

lol

I REALLY do not recommend DLing an OS from Kazaa... But try putting it on a CD and try installing it again, because later on, you have to restart and continue in a Safe Type of mode.

I'd seriously rather DL it from a warez site rather than getting it from some bum on Kazaa.

I tried XP on my computer a few days ago also.

My comP:

AMD K6-2 350 Mhz
Voodoo 2 Banshee
128 mb Ram

... and the rest doesn't really matter.

XP was waaay too slow for me. I couldn't even watch a DivX movie on my computer cuz it was too choppy. Of course, that's not XP's problem, it's my POS computer.

And about D/Ling an OS... I don't think that's such a good Idea. I mean, for all you know, whoever turned it into a Warez hacked it and put in a "backdoor" so that he could get into your computer, etc.. etc...

With a lot of 24/7 connections these days, it's a real threat.

lol dude, buy a new mobo w/ CPU. and get a GeForce2 400 MX which are $60 if u look hard.

[joeyjoe367]

Heh, yeah I was thinking about gettin' some new stuff, but i really don't need it. All i do on my comp right now is surf, and watch DivX movies, burned for me by friends.

I don't plan on doing anything to my computer until I get a better Internet connection. Cable and verison DSL isn't available here, and Qwest wants a friggin' 2 year contract.

[XspyX]

Yeee haaa

I got the hook up!

[gimp]

The kid across the hall from me just bought a P4 1.6 ghz with 1.5 gigs of ram. I forget what kind, its the good stuff though. It has a geforce3 to. I believe it's a hercules one. That thing screams.

I use win2k pro, and I dont want to switch to xp. I love the hibernization thing (win2k has it too) I use that on my laptop all the time.

[Mossman]

Ive been on XP for months now,(Well 2 maybe). I got it the day devilsown released it and its pretty impressive. It screwed up and i had to format once but..oh well, seems to be workin fine now.

[WickeDKlowN]

1.5 gigs of ram?!?!?

is that even possible?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
