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.

My main computer runs Windows XP SP2. Every other computer I touch is pretty much the same. Unless you count what I usually use at college, which is some version of Sun Solaris using some version CDE. |
|
I have Windows XP Home SP2 on my desktop, and my laptop has Windows XP Professional SP2 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 both stuffed onto one 40GB drive. My parents' computer runs Windows XP, too, and my old desktop runs Windows 98SE.
Nothing weird and exciting like Solaris or OS/2 or anything, sorry. |
|
Windows XP Home SP2 for me. I should have got Professional instead. But since I'm just playing games, doing some light codings and posting on online forums, I don't think I think special OS.

I'm running OS X 10.4 and occasionally XP Pro in a virtual machine.
Will likely be adding a PC sometime, and it'll either be running XP Home or Media Center. Now, assuming that this is just going to be a regular machine, is there any advantage/disadvantage to getting the media center edition instead of home? I'm going to get whatever comes with a 'good buy' computer anyways, and thus a Pro edition isn't an option.

Unless you don't want any flexibility in configuring your computer what-so-ever. I don't know if Media Center is based on Home or Pro, but I'm leaning towards Home. |
Also, alot of OEM PCs w/MCE come with problems out of the box. Theres a hardware glitch that causes MCE to crash/freeze while you're watching TV/Recorded TV and no one knows a real solution to fix it. Theres a Windows Update that claims to fix this problem but for most people it makes it worse or doesn't fix it at all. My PC came with this problem and I wasn't able to fix it until after reinstalling MCE for the third time and reinstalled the update.

Anyway, I'm running XP Pro on my main desktop and my laptop. I gave up trying to use Linux as a desktop OS. I found it completely counterproductive and usually spent more time trying to get Linux to do something I needed it to do than I spend worrying about security issues with Windows XP. |
Double Post: Guest, Cetra, thanks for your insight on MCE, as I've not used it. Sounds like home is the way to go at the same pricepoint. Neither is going to do anything I care about over the other, and if I'm using a mediocre OS (home), it might as well have a few less headaches than the other mediocre OS (MCE). All depends on the sales though. ^^

I don't pirate software anymore, hence, not going to do that. The XP Pro I'm using in virtual PC is not a legal copy, but I'll remove it when I get a real PC. I appreciate the thought though.

On my main comp I run Windows XP Pro SP2 Int. My Laptop runs 2000 Pro because anything else would make it explode.
I have copies of the December CTP of Vista, I might have the February CTP but I don't think so. I have Intel's Tiger 10.4.5 also. I plan on testing them as soon as my external decides to work again. I actually have shitloads of valid XP keys, just not for Pro, only Home. I also have valid keys for older versions of Windows too. Might have a 2000 Pro one, have 98SE, and countless ME serials. ![]() |

I use Windows 2000 SP4 for the most part. A few months ago I installed Windows XP64 just to see how well it performed on my system (which is supposedly ideally suited for it, with a couple of Opterons on the motherboard). Performance was a little bit slower, but I appreciate the PowerNow! support which can stop my ears from bleeding due to fan noise, unlike in Windows 2000 where I need to use RMClock to get a similar effect and it tends to be unreliable anyway.
