I'm bored,I want to format and do a new install

[crazyman]

I have all three,which do you like the best?

win 2k pro
win me
win 98se

and I will not put on xp,it's not an option.

2k is good IMHO, may take longer to boot but but it has more security and stablility and it has lots more options that i like. i like the task manager and the new defragmenter too. just to name a few. good luck!

Win2K Pro. But after you do the install you have to download SP2,
then Media Player 8, then Explorer 6 for an up to date system.

I hope you are hooked up to cable.

edit: Oh, and Direct X 8.1 if you are into games.

Out of the options you have, I would DEFINATELY say Windows 2000 Pro...but why is XP not an option? I have been running it since beta build 2462, all the way to final, with no problems at all. Anyway, 9x systems, god bless their little hearts, are a thing of the past. Stay with NT stabilty...

well I am no expert on it,but from what I have read on xp,I change hardware and format and play alot with my 4 pc's here at home and that's a problem in the long run with xp,right?
and also I don't like the fact that my os and hardware can be seen more from somewhere else.and I have way too much software that won't work with xp,I don't feel like buying new software.

right or wrong thats how I feel. :)

Win XP Pro corporate is great if you can find it. Activation is disabled.

edit: If you'd like to try XP I have a preview copy that I don't need. Time locked after 10 days but gives you an idea. Send PM if interested.

Bored?
Dude, you can't be bored. Your life is too exciting for that!

I should wipe this hard drive clean and start over. It's been almost 2 years on Win98se. Still going, but going slower. :D

Go w2k,It's just like Xp but no fancy overloaded stuff, and if you like xp looks just install w2k and download the skins that make w2k look like xp.
