Now on the other hand my server has win2k, and networked w/ my homegrown syst that is running WinME.
-
I've still got Win98 on an old Celeron that's still up and running in addition to XP on my new ones.
-
Still using Win2000, its the most stable OS I have ever seen by far. I'll take Win2000 over XP's bloat and registration any day of the week.

I'm running XP pro on my desktop & server, i have to say that I'm quite happy with the stability of XP, several months+ for the server and several weeks for the desktop, compared to 98's Several minutes max.

Windows XP Pro

Windows XP. I like the system, it is easy to use, with very little confusing, even to me. ;D

I was quite happy with 98 when I had it. Of course, I didn't know any different but my desktop machine stayed running for weeks when it ran 98. It seemed to have a memory leak though, and after about 3 weeks running it would run at half speed.

Max, what's a memory leak?
-
Max, what's a memory leak?
A bug in a program that prevents it from freeing up memory that it no longer needs. As a result, the program grabs more and more memory until it finally crashes because there is no more memory left. In this case Win 98.

For memory leaks, try http://www.memturbo.com
I've been using it for years..frees up memory, especially the leaks...run it every morning and have set it to try and keep 512 Meg free at all times (unless actually needed)

Another limitation of Win 98 and ME.. you could put 4 gigs memory into the system, however the OS would never utilize more than 512 MB of it.. 512 MB is all Win 98 or ME could ever recognize being on the system.. specs state 4 GB, OS operates and recognizes only 512 of it.. talk about Memory leak.

Actually there is a fix that lets you use to 768 mb (at least). The gotcha is that you have to install the OS with 512mb or less apply the fix and then add the extra memory. So if you ever have to reinstall your OS you have to remember to remove the "excess memory" first.

As for OS goes.. the list is missing the XP variations.. it combines Home and Pro into the poll...
however, under XP.. Home and Pro are moot so long as people are using XPSP 2 IT Install (266 mb).. Trns Home and Pro into Pro SP 2 reguardless of what splash screen states.
Now under the Pro edition, there are 3 versions released prior to XPSP 2
there is the XP Pro Corporate, XP Pro 64 Bit Server Edition and Media Center Edition.
Under Media Center Edition, there are 3 versions which were sold separately on prebuilt machines..
MCE2002, MCE 2004, and MCE 2005
I happen to be using Windows XP Professional Media Center Edition 2005 with XPSP 2 build 2180 IT Install.. runs extremely stable. No lock ups or crashes.. havent had to reboot my system since I installed it in Nov 2004 when it was released.
