ROFL

You are so right. I have always preferred to have maximum control over my machine. Windows makes me feel like I'm in a bird cage sometimes. Sometimes that bird cage seems to have bars small enough that I cant get out, but big enough that a big, nasty paw can maul me.

dos 2k2 would be better than win xp. I have the control

yeea but then u would complain about the lack of a graphics interface "arg my fingers hurt from typing all these commands!"

still better than xp

Wow am I the only one that liked XP?

Compared to 2000 its been great since RC2 on my Athlon. What I liked:

Sound worked correctly with Vortex 2 (Windows 2000 wouldn't at all, I had to use a POS SB Live).

Boot time halved.

Included NIC drivers actually worked (no fishing for drivers like 2000).

ID3 support in explorer (yes I actually like ID3).

Noticable improvement in games (Max Paine comes to mind) over 2000.

Actually XP was the first MS OS I've used that "just worked" without hours of playing with it and getting new drivers. Once I killed Luna its the best of 98 and 2000 (IMHO).

hehe yea i liked it to...omg the drivers part is the best. but most oses had that when they first came out...xp just has the most ive ever seen....

You have side

A: I hate that ****ing XP! ggrrrrrrrrrrr

and:

B: And what's wrong with it again.....

So what's the point.... no one will "win", so how about we all go talk about the Maze 3 and be happy again :p

well i really wanted to hear WHY people dont like it....not just that they hate xp cause its satan (which satan is ME)
