Simple. The user made the error of installing Windows on their computer.

Have you ever used ME?! I have, if "used" is the proper term. Here's what it is: Take 98SE. Add in the XP media player. Double the price tag. Remove any semblence of stability that 98SE had. I'm not just talking multiple BSODs and corrupted data when trying to install WC3, I'm talking averaging about one repeating BSOD crash (that's where instead of saying "Press ENTER to go back to Windows" they should have just said "**** you!" because pressing Enter does nothing) every three hours or so. ME is the worst Windows operating system ever made. It is essentially Bill Gates's middle finger to the users.

I have no idea what you guys are smoking. Why don't more people use Win2k? It's what I'm running now, and I have yet to see a single windows game it won't run. How is it any worse for gaming? :P

Only game I've seen not run perfect is FF7, which you can fix with a the compatibility tool (free MS download).

I'd especially like to see some numbers backing up the statement that XP is faster. Win2k doesn't take up craploads of processing power with the pretty GUI stuff that XP does.

That if you don't use the classic interfaceas I do, however I found that disabling menu shadows and windows animations, I can use the XP gui as fast as win 2k

The only thing that annoys me about XP is that mocosoft didn't include compatibility to create more visual styles, but you can download style XP, or even better the patched uxtheme.dll , and done.

I like XP more cause of compatibility stuff, using the link properties I can use any NT / 9x program and such.

I use WinME but I would go for Win98. It allows more people to be able to use the proggy that you will be creating.
