I have just started using XP. Great operating system, very well organized and clean. I use windows 2000 at work, and at home I was using win 98. So far I would have to say XP is far superior to either. I can't comment on ME because I have never used it before.

I use Win 2000 at home and uni, I like it very much, never had much trouble and I think it has just crashed once or so.
I had Win 98 up until last summer, it was terrible and just how I coped so long with it is a mystery to me... [img]smile.gif[/img] |

I also recommend XP Pro...I used to have Win2000 and it was terrible for gaming. XP handles games far better in my experience, and is the most stable I've come across...

I think I would prefure XP Pro, but it costs more!! not sure if it's worth the extra...

98 is fine... but it even sucked for me more than ME did... never had any problems with ME... but I am not really a power user. [img]smile.gif[/img]
I have XP Professional, and it works like a charm. I love everything about it. I think more of potential. I hate imagining this thought: One day I wake up deciding to do something big, yet my PC can't handle the pressure. Same goes with whatever I have.  Good luck choosing

I use XP Home with the "classic" windows optional interface and find it no problem at all.

I use Windows XP Professional Edition. ME just sucks, so you should definitely change that operating system to something like 2000 or XP. I'm happy with XP Pro so far, but also very curious to what "Leghorn" will turn out to be.

I am running 98SE/XP Pro dual boot. IMO, the best of both world if you have the extra HDD space to spare.

At work I'm stuck with Win2k Pro. Stable, fast, and annoying, and I'm the administrator!
At home: My machine runs WinXP Corproate Edition, Very stable, fast, and hardware friendly, but gamer unfriendly. The living room runs WinMe. It handles all of the apps you mentioned flawlessly! The net, e-mail, new and old games, word apps, power point etc. My thoughts are if you don't have, or want to purchase WinXp, and are just curious, stick with WinMe. I have not found a piece of equipment that is not compatable with WinMe yet. However, on the flipside, some IT's are beta testing the new OS, which means MS will pull the support plug on WinMe in the near future. Win98 had 6 years on the support cycle. If you can wait, I'd wait until code "Longhorn" becomes a OS, give it 6 months for debugging, then jump.
