Q: I am sick and tired of people making statements like: “Windows 2000 is just XP without the eye candy.” Windows 2000 is by far the superior OS stability and speed has something sadly lacking with the slow, bloated and unstable Xp.
As for gaming in my recent benchmark XP scored an amazing 9505 and 2000, but it was a fantastic 10,006 YES thats right higher at 2000, so you could say yes, some 5% but every gamer knows that every little bit helps make the difference between running RTCW on 1280×960 or 1600×1200 32bit 32bit.

Re:<< Win2k—>XP = Win98SE–>ME. >>
I think this is the best analogy to describe it.

Re:<< Its a good thing that most people do not guage an OS by the gaming benchmarks. >>
I agree completely. For me, its stability first, then performance. While I have no indication that XP is an unstable operating system, I have every indication that 2k is [ a stable operating system ].

Re:I liked both OS, but XP is much easier to install for me, runs just fine, and Win2k is yesterdays OS. Time to move on. Its a good thing that most people do not guage an OS by the gaming benchmarks.
Third Eye Help
Re:I think, Mr. Serenedream, that before you come to a forum and start posting your opinions on computers that you should begin to take a look at facts…and I hardly call a benchmarking difference of 501 a difference in performance. Perhaps you would get on everyone's better side if you were to at least use fact instead of opinion to support your arguments, but for you to post your arguments in these forums is an insult to your existence. I have been running XP for months now, and I haven't had any problems whatsoever. Just go home, son.

Re:<< Your statement "slow, bloated and unstable XP" makes you come across as an idiot to me. You got 1 out of 3 right at least about XP, although I doubt you know which one. >>
cough*bloated*cough!

Re:As a general OS XP is better than 9x. But for gaming 9x beats it (and W2K).

Re:*sigh*
can we all just agree that 2K/XP is better than 9x and leave it at that 
Dark Circles Under Eyes Cure
Re:I'm not going to say Win2k sucks or anything, but XP runs just fine for me. If you like Win2k better we're happy for ya, W2k is a good OS.
Starting threads like these make you seem like a child starving for attention or something.

As usual the problem is between the chair and the keyboard. There is not a MS operating system that I have used that I've had a problem with, and I've used them all. If you know how to set up XP, it is just as fast if not faster than 2000.

It seems to me some Win2K users are doing the flamming where XP is concerned,for the record I`ve been using WinXP for last 6 months and it`s rock stable,if you got a problem with that tough, it`s your problem not mine ,as for this is better then that ,what`s the point?
We all use what we think is the best OS & there`re many happy 2k/XP users out there.
<< Windows 2000 is by far the superior OS it has stability and speed something sadly lacking with the slow >>
Hmm funny how I also have speed ,stability with XP,sounds like user error to me 
.
Little tip ,if you don`t like WinXP then don`t install it,no need to start a flamming thread.
Re:5% increase on a benchmark isn't going to make the difference between being able to run RTCW at 1280×960 32bit or 1600×1200 32bit. Benchmarks aren't everything.
Re:whats up with this? why in every forum i go to is there people that start pointless arguments. i was sick of 'vestax vs technics' in my DJ forums. both OS's have pros and cons. both are good. both are from microsoft

Re:"You run windows2000, whoop-de-doo! I run 2x FreeBSD boxes, 1x 2k box, and 1x XP box… Do I get an award now? "
I think your the one trying to impress.
Re:<< Im sick and tired of people saying 2000 is just Xp without the Eye candy, 2000 is by far the superior OS, stability and speed as for gaming in my recent benchmark my score on XP was 9505 on 2000 it was 10006 YES thats right higher on 2000, so as for XP be better for gaming go suck my ****.

Is there a point to this, or is it just a rant? I can't even decode what your saying… It's all just one bloated sentence… You run windows2000, whoop-de-doo! I run 2x FreeBSD boxes, 1x 2k box, and 1x XP box… Do I get an award now? Besides, does a benchmark difference of 501 out of 9000+ mean anything? Hardly 5%… Personally, I've got no beefs with either XP or 2k. At first I was rather reluctant to use it (XP), but now I have it running damn stable(for windows) on a 566mhz cellery w/ 512MB RAM…
