Windows XP Home - fresh install <1hr

[Rooster]

I even got all my favorites back.

So far, this rocks.

Hell, I impressed myself last night by re-installing ME in about an hour and a half (favourites back of course ;)).

I want to know how you feel about XP and how it works in gaming and MS Office app's, multi-tasking etc.

Can't speak for gaming, but I've been using it for a while at work and it hasn't been a problem in the slightest.

Issue with UT - had to download a refresh rate tool.

Not sure on others.

I'll load up Battlecom & IRC before the game tonight.

It seems to underperform WinME (by about 5-10FPS on Cityintro, possibly 10-20FPS in game). But it looks better. So I may have something turned on that I didn't earlier.

I've been using XP Corp. Edition for a few weeks now and it roxxors my boxxors!!:hump:

There are a few workarounds that you need to do to get everything to work out (refresh rate, aspi layer, etc.), but they are minor. I didn't have to install a single driver during installation and it seems very stable.:) I've had a couple of UT problems, but they were related to new nvidia drivers i installed. EVERYTHING looks a lot better and I like the layout a lot. It likes to munch on RAM, but RAM is cheap so... no biggie.

Overall all I give it 2 thumbs and a johnson UP!!:hump:

I don't see myself going back to any other windows OS.
