re: XP home edition vs. Millenium? Wednesday, April 14, 2004 at 7:57 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Barry Christian (1 messages posted) I don't see why so many people are stuck on Windows 9x/ME and try to claim that it is stable. I have never tried ME, but I ran 98 for three years before purchasing a computer with XP. With 98, I would get the BSOD when playing games, surfing the web, and even after clicking Start and pointing to Find. This was with a fresh installation of 98, not one of those polluted installations with all the useless adware downloaded from the web that boggs down the system. I thought this unacceptable for an operating system, and I would in no way call that "stable." XP, on the other had, has only crashed 3 times since I began using it a year ago. Two of them times the crash was my fault. XP is not perfect, being as there are so many security flaws and what not, but it is like apples and oranges compared to the 9x/ME line when it comes to stability. If you are at all computer enthusiast, I highly recommend is getting XP Pro instead of Home. Pro is much more customizable, robust, and secure. I received a student copy of Pro and like it even better than I did Home. Just do a fresh installation instead of upgrading your current version of Windows.
