The new Windows version.....necessary or just more bloatware
This is a discussion about The new Windows version.....necessary or just more bloatware in the Windows Software category; I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I am EXTREMELY happy with Windows 2000 SP2 and IE 6, plus the new Outlook version that comes with IE 6. I see no reason to upgrade to XP now or even in the distant future.
I don't know about the rest of you guys, but I am EXTREMELY happy with Windows 2000 SP2 and IE 6, plus the new Outlook version that comes with IE 6. I see no reason to upgrade to XP now or even in the distant future. I think this upgrade may be Microsoft's toughest sell ever. From what I've heard it sounds like XP is more of a downgrade than an upgrade in some areas ha! Anyways, reading your responses will give me something to do at work tommorrow

OP
Are you saying they didn't even bother to put driver support into Windows XP for Voodoo cards?
Apparently the later versions of XP haven't gotten 3dfx card drivers from nVidia--which does make sense, but I don't like it.
However, I decided to go a head with RC1 and picked up a GF2MX200 which really rocks under XP!
Much better since Beta 2.
Wierd thing is, XP RC1--not fully released--is running smoothly on my duallie, but I'm having hell with Win2k for some reason. At least that eliminates some probable causes...
Ah well, I got on frickin' OS running right now...
I can feel my arguments against XP going away. Not totally sure I'll pick up XP, but I'll at least consider it in a dual boot.
System's hefty enough...

Well the MSI crapped out under XP too. I'll see how it runs on a VP6.
