I'm running Windows XP SP2 at the moment, but I'm really excited for the release of Vista later in the year. I also can't wait for Office 12! Despite the negative things people say about Microsoft, the company does have some truly innovative concepts this time around. The new interface, while resource intensive, looks to make using a computer much more streamlined. Here's an article that summarizes some of the pros and cons of Windows Vista:

When Smokers try to lasso him, he grabs their tongues and pulls them to HIM instead.
When Hunters jump on him he flips them over, pins them to the ground, and rips out their teeth one at a time. When Boomers vomit on him he wipes himself off, shoots peptobismol into their mouths, and performs liposuction on them before splattering their brains on the wall. When a Tank throws a chunk of concrete at him he rolls up his sleeves and puts on boxing gloves. When a Witch gives him lip he pulls his hand back and slaps that bitch right in the mouth. No zombie is safe from Chicago Ted. |

First, why should those programs be ported when OSS-equivalents exist? wxmusik, amarok, muine, and several other programs function similarly to foobar2000; grip is (IMO) superior to EAC, as it's got less clutter in the configuration and runs much faster for me; no idea about Kega Fusion. Also, Windows XP, when I ran it, was leaner than Windows 2000. :P
As a fun fact, foobar2000 runs perfectly in wine, and EAC is still mostly functional under it. Also, why are you posting a reply "I'll do [x] when [y]" to everyone? It's annoying.

Also, what on earth does, "I don't know how Linux handles CD-ROM commands" mean? Could you elaborate a bit? As far as I've been able to tell over the years I've used Linux (or Unix, for that matter), it handles CD-ROM commands much like any other OS, unless I've been missing something. (Sure, the underlying code is different, but the same effects occur.) |

ASPI !== ultimate ripping security.
Things can be ripped 'excellently' with things like grip on Linux. As a matter of fact, you don't even need ASPI on Windows: an ASPI layer only provides a standard method of communication between the SCSI/ATAPI host adapter and the devices on it, which may or may not result in more desirable performance. Also, what version of DOSBox have you tried D3D on? It works fine with 0.63 (for me, anyway). |

I've been running Win ME for the past 6 or so years and I really like it. I never had problems with it like people keep on telling me how ME sucks and all.(Though I do notice when I Play my machine, I have to rebort every four or so hours depending on the game and etc. Unlike my friend's machine on XP...)
But I am going to get XP as soon as I buy a new machine during the summer... I'll porblay make a thread on which XP to get so this thread doesn't get derailed.

XP SP2. I fooled around with Vista Beta 2 in fall last year but lost interest fast as everything so so much slower and my 5.1 sound wouldn't work.
I've also been known to dabble in teh loonicks (Mandrake/Mandriva, particularly), but Windows XP truly is a superior operating system. |

I'm running Windows 98SE. It's pretty sad, really. The computer started out with Windows ME, and when that eventually crapped out, I had XP for 30 days until it stopped working. I couldn't afford to buy anything, so I just had my aunt install Windows 98 on it.

dual booting:
XP Media Center Edition 2005 Vista Build 5270 Surprising the vista build is stable for me, the only real problem i'm having is with my Audigy 2 sound card, which is a known problem. |

On BigShell I'm running Gentoo Linux with KDE, and dual-booting Windows XP Home for high-end gaming (though Linux works fine for most emulators and it also has a huge selection of independent games).
I've also got Gentoo running on OuterHeaven which is a Powerbook G3 Lombard (1999). Found a nice, little window manager called wmi that lets you use the keyboard for everything, which is great because I hate using a trackpad. |
