As for the good old "which version of Windows is best?" argument, my personal preference is Windows 2000 by far over any version of Windows currently available (though 2003 Server is supposed to be quite nice).

imo,
windows 2000 is good for games
windows xp is good for "day to day life"
windows server 2003 is very nice, and with the Windows Services for UNIX 3.5 package, you can intergrate it quite nicely with the rest of your unix network.

it comes in four flavours;

Standard Edition
Enterprise Edition
Datacenter Edition
Web Edition

tis very nice indeed...  :-)

XP was a nightmare for me, day to day life was month to month of virus infections

it does have insecurities, but most of them can be cured with ease

OSX beats the pants off all of them,

emm, yes, moving on

Tiger, even Panther looks years ahead of Longhorn

I've had a look at longhorn, it's nothing more than an even more user-friendly blue version of XP, enoucouraging more AOL style users to come along...

M$ can feed us any crap and we eat it.

just like with the three extra buttons eh?  :-)

Gotta love how these Windows threads always polarise into  unexperienced condemnation on one side and ill-deserved advocacy on the other.

dude, i don't promote it, it's just that it does have some justified merit  :lol:
