Windows XP -

The only Microsoft OS i've had which has never crashed. Even in the 12+ months i've had it installed. Very impressed with its stability/performance.

Dual Booter of

1. win98 R2
2. win2k SP3

and I only keep win98 for the old old games that don't run under win2k. If it wasn't for those, I'd just use win2k. I'll probably try XP Pro one day, but I've no reason to at the moment.

Okay here are the results
Most common operating system used is:
1st 11 for XP (Suprise, suprise)
2nd = Win2k and MacOSX

OSX hasn't crashed, or even threatened to crash, you guys harp on about XP not crashing like it is a feature

Using XP Pro on a Laptop with very occassional lock-ups and re-boot....using on trying to connect to the internet

Had to take Windows ME off the other PC we use it constantly became unstable in the end just couldn't work with it.

XP does all I ask and its easy to use
