FirefoxRocks 0 Report post Posted May 8, 2011 I don't mind Windows XP, but I prefer Windows 7 because of its newer features in Windows Explorer as well as keyboard shortcuts like WindowsKey+Left. I also like that I can use Internet Explorer 9 in Windows 7, even though I use Chrome and Firefox as my defaults. As for Linux, I occassionally use Ubuntu, but I tend to use the Ubuntu in my Virtual Machine (running on my host of Windows 7) when I need to do some programming in C.Windows XP is fine for daily use, just make sure you aren't using Internet Explorer 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yordan 10 Report post Posted May 9, 2011 All my systems purchased with Windows XP are still working like a charm. So I am satisfied with that and I will continue until big hardware failure.I will probably have to switch to Windows7 when I will buy my next PC, but till now I stick to XP as long as I can.

Quatrux 4 Report post Posted May 19, 2011 Well, as I said in another topic, at home I am using Windows 7, as my computer is not so old, has lots of memory and can easily work with Windows 7, even though when I bought it, it came with Vista, I removed it and installed XP, but I couldn't get all the features of it, as drivers weren't as good as for Vista, but I was quite patient and soon Windows 7 appeared, as I am a student, I got myself a copy of Windows 7 Pro for students in the MSDN program and samsung released drivers and everything, it works like a charm, much better than XPBut for older computers, which were designed to run XP, I think they should run XP, as I can't find anything bad about XP, I am using it at work and have no problems, even though the computer is new at my workplace.. just as it was said, you need to NOT USE IE6 ;)Whoever wants to use IE9, need to use Windows 7, but on XP IE8 is quite satisfying , so... just use Opera or Chrome :lol:Besides, I think XP has better performance and other stuff for some not new games which requires DirectX9, if there is no problems with drivers, when it's a good OS.
