Makes sense~ Guess some of those people were fearmongering~Anyway installing 2k on an XP partition ough to wipe only your documents & settings folder and windows folder IIRC, though from setup you can destroy the partition XP is on and recreate it and reformat it as an NTFS partition, thats like installing it fresh.
But...but XP has bigger tracts of land!I'm going to the dependable woman a congratulations for people who know what I'm refering to
2k3 is the best MS OS yet, sure it's a server but making into a workstation was easy, I even played doom 3 on it.Hamel wrote:I'm going to the dependable woman a congratulations for people who know what I'm refering to
I've heard good things about it, but I'd rather stick to 2k until I get a better computer.His Divine Shadow wrote:2k3 is the best MS OS yet, sure it's a server but making into a workstation was easy, I even played doom 3 on it.Hamel wrote:I'm going to the dependable woman a congratulations for people who know what I'm refering to

Hell, the Compatibility Mode feature in WinXP is available for Win2k as well (as of SP2 . . . though we're clear through SP4 now.) You just have to enable it.GoldenFalcon wrote::DArchaic` wrote:OS-tan I assume?Hamel wrote:I'm going to the dependable woman a congratulations for people who know what I'm refering to
The only reason why one wouldn't want to run Win2000 is the lack of compatibility for older programs, but I guess WinXP sorta has that problem too.
What's the point in running XP if I'm not using most of its exclusive features, such as the Fisher Price visuals? 2k runs a little faster anyway. I think the only thing I'm going to miss in XP is msconfig from the run menu, but I can do similar things in 2000 without a problem. After all I did take classes in 2k Server and Advanced Server.Uraniun235 wrote:Hamel, may I ask what it was about XP that brought about this desire to downgrade? I'm running 2K right now, and every once in awhile there are some shiny XP features that appeal to me, but I don't want to jump in and find myself wishing I was back in Kansas.
There are some tweaks under the hood not related to the GUI and XP SP2 will attempt to be a massive security overhaul that may not be backported to 2K.

SP2 is something I do not give a shit about, and 2k is secure enough. To my knowledge I have no applications that are incompatible with 2k.phongn wrote:There are some tweaks under the hood not related to the GUI and XP SP2 will attempt to be a massive security overhaul that may not be backported to 2K.
