What's the matter with XP? I like it. It is more stable than the Win9x versions, and has a cooler GUI. It's performance is up to par with the earlier versions of windows, and it is better at detecting and configuring different types of hardware.
You REALLY don't want to go back to the bad old days of Win 3.11 and DOS. Every piece of software had to have its own hardware configuration settings! And heaven help you if you had a new printer that your word processor didn't recognize. Or a new sound card that the game you want to play doesn't like. Does anyone else remember tweaking AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files, just to get that last kb free from the 640K, so your programs would run? Or worse, having to have boot disks to make things work!
I, for one, have enough headaches in my life without worrying endlessly about how to get my computer to run, or whether it will run at all.
