XP to Win2k is what ME was to Win98, junk...anybody agree?

I have read a lot of positive posts in regard to Whistler but I have to say that after trying a couple versions for kicks and giggles I find it to be an over-weight version of Win2k which actually slowed down my games.

I have read a lot of positive posts in regard to Whistler but I have to say that after trying a couple versions for kicks and giggles I find it to be an over-weight version of Win2k which actually slowed down my games. I know it is in beta stages but for someone who is still running a P2-350 it really was glitchy.
I am, however, really pleased with how Win2k is coming around and once the driver's evolve I believe that Win2k will be the one to last.
I know I do need to upgrade, and I will, but has anyone else experienced this same kind of reaction to Whistler or is it just me?
Maybe, a lot of people have 1G processors and they don't notice the poor performance of Whistler. Just wanted to see if I'm alone in this thinking...

I guess every post of jdulmage's in this thread are a part of his non-helpful 20%.
 
I guess Winamp would suck on a pair of $5 Yamaha 4 watt speakers huh? I know that Winamp ROCKS on Klipsch Pro Media 4.1's.
 
I don't care if you and your friends make little movies on movie maker whacking each other off, it is not necessary for an OS to MAKE you install it.

lol, this is funny. I run XP and ME (only to play Tiger Woods 2k1 the ONLY thing i run ME for f*cking EA) and I find XP to be a shi*ton faster than ME and a LOT faster than 2k. Not to mention the better D3d and OpenGL support 2446 has but since you aren't beta testers just w*rez fags that do nothing but get OSes to play around with them so you can make movies of your friend whacking off instead of testing the OS for compatibility issues, looking for bugs, and other things BETA TESTERS are supposed to do not sit here and whine about how this OS isnt as good as that one when you got the f-in thing for free anyway.

Jdulmage:
SHUT THE F*CK UP!!!!!!
You are beginning to p*ss everyone off!
Media Player 7 had compatability problems with Win2k. When I ran it under ME, the sound sucked, so I used Winamp.
AND I AM NOT LOOKING FOR ANYTHING TO DO ILLEGAL REGARDING MICROSOFT.
I find that Movie Maker is nothing but a space hog on my hard drive.
I will pay for ONE copy of XP.
And right now, I dont need to upgrade to XP.
Just because you think XP is the greatest OS thus far, doesnt mean that everyone else has to think so.

And another thing, Jdulmage:
 
You are getting about as irritating as the "Why is my system so dope" fag.

there WILL be a crack for the activation thingy. who cares what MS does people, it has its bad sides, and it has its good sides, everything gets hacked/cracked/ripped eventually so just give it time.
