Nobody is save. With the service pack 3 for Win2000 you get the same spystuff as in WinXP. :PPPStill Win 98SE for me at the moment - I'm too busy and have too much important stuff on there to mess around upgrading to another OS right now. (Hate all that nonsense with installing new drivers and fiddling with IRQ's etc! Bah!) Dave (Who really needs to learn the benefits of "Time Management") ;-)
XP Pro retail on the laptop (IE6) Stripped down, and secure. It's "Live Update" day today! I surf from the couch on this one :) XP Pro (MS Select) on the desktop, it came with IE6, but it's a moot point as it'll never be connected to the 'net. I have poser and everything else installed on this one. later jb
Main computer OS9.2 and IE 5, Netscape 4.7 & 6 (different sites need different versions for fetch and purchase). &aol5 for the family chat rooms on Sundays. Will go to OSX.2 when I get a new computer and only install the OSX programs, forget the switching to classic. Golden oldie computer OS 7.5, Earthlink and aol.
On the various machines around here we use; 486 with MS DOS6.2 and Window 3.11 (used strictly as a CADD machine - some of my old hardware, a scanner and a plotter will not run on anything newer), the 10 P3x733 units that make up the render farm use NT 4 SP6, my laptop is dual boot Win98SE and W2K Pro, my main machines are a Mac G4 running Mac OS 9.2 (I have a copy of OSX but reformatted back to 9.2)and an Intel P4x2Gig which runs W2K Pro hooked to a KVM
win 98 se (for some reason, its rock stable on my PC)

The Lone Dragon of the Apocralypse is running Win98 First Edition, and will not upgrade to XP until he can afford to replace his motherboard, processor, memory, etc. Or until Win98 FE self-destructs. Whichever comes first. Butch, I remember OS/2 Warp. I remember hearing good things about it. I also remember watching it get crushed by the release of Win95. sigh
Dual boot ME / W2K sp3. Both on same partition and I share program directories. Can install a program to a custom directory, reboot, and reinstall to same directory. That way when switching OS's my settings from the previous session show up. It also saves on HD space. There are problems associated with using a non partitioned C drive, but they can be overcome. IE6. 1.4 amd, 512ddr ram, ATI 8500DV card. Network for Bryce Lightening. DSL. Two scanners, HP 890C, dvd and cd burner (cheapest backup device you can get. Lots of USB game stuff (I prefer saitek). Firewire for the camcorder, usb for the digital camera. But the dream machine, aside from top end amd/ram, may be dual processor (almost built this one that way) and purely win2k. As soon as I'm done with home kernal type software, I'll ditch ME and stay only with w2k. We use xp pro at work on the workstations with w2k server. That's ok there. I don't want xp at home.
9.2.1 . . . and it crashes and freezes relentlessly. I make sure it does, otherwise it isnt being pushed far enough. Got OS X to get iMovie 2, then left it to late to get Office 2001 so I need it to run Office X. Maybe if Poser 5 only came out in 9.2 it will be out at the same time, let the X version be late. My version of OS X is labled BUILD 5J34 whatever the hell that is.
Win2K Pro on one and W98SE on the other. (I'd upgrade the other in a heartbeat..... I love 2K, but I can't find a driver for my printer that'll work with it, and can't affford to replace it right now)
What we do in life, echoes in eternity.

At home: Mac OS X, the best-looking OS I've seen and it's stable too. On my PC I have Windows 98, not so stable. Linux is also hiding somewhere on the PC. At work: Windows 95 and Mac OS 9, not too stable either of them..
