HI,

Its my opinion and experience after using WindowXp, Home and Professional. There is no better OS in the market at the moment than Xp.

I would not change it to Windows 2000 even if its given free to me.

 

Regards

takentime,

Changing the operating system will not void your warranty, but if you ever need technical support and software troubleshooting is required to identify the problem Dell may require you to reinstall Windows XP for that purpose.

If you choose to downgrade to W2K, you will have to research the availability of drivers for your system on your own. Dell will not make any drivers available through their downloads, so you must visit the manufacturers' Web sites and download them yourself (if they exist).

That is your opinion not mine. And it does not answer my question.

 

thank you for the response anyway.

Thank you Denny for your answer.

As for some peoples opinion on xp verses 2000 I do not believe switching is a downgrade. I know many in the industry (from gamers to programers) that feel the same way. XP might be easier to use for newbies and people not that involved in computers but it is bloated. I use win 2000 pro and it has never let me down.

On the other hand XP has its problems and you can see that just in these forums. For me and mine I will stick to a faster loading less bloated os.

The majority of problems you see here on the board are not caused by the operating system.  They are caused by the users of the Operating system.  Big difference.  Kip

I don't understand why some don't like to learn and use the latest OS and to me I have used both Home and Professional and found them so exciting and easy to work.

Would not like to change and go back to old Win98 and all.

I am pleased what I have been using and doing my Programming and other works.

Mohammad.

Just to add a point, My wife works for the local council and they are still using 98 and are still getting new software developed for them and have no plans to upgrade.

And my nephew works for the local rail authority and there system is crazy, they have XP on one computer on each desk that they use for communicating with the outside world, taking bookings etc. then they transfer the data to the other computer on each desk which is running DOS ???

Honest.

Mohammmad I guess you do not understand my point so let me clarify.

..........."why some don't like to learn and use the latest OS "..................

Learning the "new os" called xp is easy. It is geared for people with no clue on running an operating system. It is also based on the win 2k model. It is bloated, it use more of your system than it needs to. Sure you can cut it back by why bother when win 2k is handy.

Win 2k is also easier to net work. I know the company bs is it isn't but I have lan parties and xp just does not like all the routers were 2k has never had a problem. I have never had a problem with 98 either but 2k suites my needs better.

..............."Would not like to change and go back to old Win98 "....................

Don't change back. I do not use 98. But 2k is fine. It also doesn't have to phone home when I change the system. I buy software I do what I want with it. I just bought a dell notebook and all that was offered on it was xp well I am dumping and going to what I consider a better system.

Now thats a statement worth repeating folks.  You now know we are not only uninformed, but clueless.  Dude, do your thing and downgrade.  Its certainly your choice.  You have to live with it, we fortunately do  not. 

 

Thank you very much for your comparison and detailing the OS.

I am happy what I have got and the problems I had with other OS before they are vanished.

Many thanks for your time.

Mohammad.
