Favourite version of Windows and why? (Poll)

So basically core 2 or newer? That would run anything out I rekon. Im running 2k bloody quick on my M90 with 4GB t7200 and FX2500m.

It's older, so the M90 can clobber 2K.

It can run windows 7 on it too if I wanted to ruin my laptop with it. That is if the Vista driver from Dell would run on it. Which I seriously doubt. Running drivers from 2006 on it. its all they have. Nvidia don't provide DX9 driver support for mobile chips either.

Anyway, its the same as XP basically, so from what you say it will run XP fine. Which it does not, but its a driver issue, and lack of speedstep at all in it.

Windows 2000. Windows 7 comes a close 2nd. Other then that, I guess Windows 98SE for its time. Windows ME was nothing but junk/worthless/trash, nothing but microshafts way of destroying windows 98SE. Vista was not as bad as ME but a close second, was nothing but a close ME rerun. If you had XP, Vista was not worth buying unless you just had a need for a 64 bit OS/DirectX 11.

XP with the Classic GUI, no question. Fast (especially with a quad core!), flexible, customizable, never refused to run any program I threw at it, never a problem with drivers or hardware. I dual boot with XP and Win 7 pro, so even after "official" support ends in 2014, I'll be using it offline for a good many years to come.

I was tossing up between XP and 7. I voted 7 in the end because of it's good looks (although not as good looking as vista) and because it's very easy to use. XP is still a great OS.

Hmm... interesting - seems like XP and 7 are favoured most here. I thought they would be the two people liked best.

Windows xp is a little bit nicer, but it's no doubt that windows 7 is superior. Although i miss the simplicity of xp. No stupid administrator rights.. But still, i dig the aero look.
