Anyone have Windows XP?

[Austin316]

Just spent the last hour and a half trying to download a cracked version (worked perfectly on his comp) I had, got 70 percent, and would keep shutting down. Then I spent a good half hour trying to get my old version up and running again. Fucking eh!!! Anyone else have problems?

Hey Austin........... Im not gonna touch XP till I get a new computer....... probably next year...... to risky... but if I did I would probably go with the upgrade version and buy it legit.........

Most experts will tell you it's best to wait till you get a new box if you wanna use XP. Plus it's alway better to do a clean install to a reformated or new HD with an entire OS as opposed to a OS uprgrade. Atlhough I know some who upgraded and says XP rocks.

I have xp and it is all right. so far it hasnt crashed, I havent had any blue screens of death yet. amzingly, it has all the drivers you could ever ask for, although I would like to use another video driver just to see what it can do. I have tried the latest detonator driver for my geforce card and it just locked uop. good thing bout xp is you can either roll back to the previous driver and/or delete the current driver and go with what xp has.

i've gotten the devils0wn-rel. in sept. and don't have any problems so far. Just don't use the update feature. I use adaptec direct cd, which didn't work on XP initially, but the new version that comes with WinonCD 5 does.

A clean install is preferred though. Upgrading from Windows 98/ME is not so much a problem, but i would not upgrade from Windows 2000. You don't have to buy a new machine, but maybe a harddisk, since XP alone eats up more than 1 gig. And memory, if you don't have at least 128 MB.

I'm in the IT field and have a couple computers at home and at work. I use NT 4.0, Win2000 Professional, Win98 (only cause I have to support it) and on my ME machine I upgraded to XP Professional. I think XP rocks. I would suggest the professional version though due to the fact that it is alot easier to unlock the system if it hoses up.

Found XP Pro on Kazaa and works pretty well. Be sure to get the ISO version. This way you wont have any problems.....
