corvette k225 · 03-15-08, 08:41 PM

I see that microsoft will have a new OS out in Januray 2010, I will stick with XP.

Tell that one comes out, Visa I had on my pc but not anymore.

Yes - they will have one sometime between there and 2012. I will personally do my best to avoid using Vista at all on my main machine. I have a laptop out here with it loaded, but I mainly use it for apps like its diskpart program.

Really? I booted up SH2 yesterday, and it loaded in seconds on my XP. On 98 it took forever for me, and then didn't run without fixes and fiddling.

I'm happy with XP.

Oh no, no, no!

It's not rational, I just dislike change.

XP is much better.

The only thing I miss of 98 was the ability to run Microsoft Space Simulator.

Sadly on xp I've never been able to make it run, not even on virtual pc or dos box.
In the end it was a small price to pay for STABILITY and so I ditched 98 for Xp the moment it was released (yeah I was crazy for change :rotfl: ).

it's the Microsoft cycle...98 was a disaster, 2000 was great. ME was a disaster, XP was great. Vista is a disaster, the new one will be great.

Hmm.... A challenge. I will look into it!

PS. I loved Space Sim back in the day too - the UFO's, etc. Anyway, I will have to unbury that software or find it on a retro site first. I assume its a DirectX problem though, so it may be unsolvable. DX was supposed to be backwards compatible, but its truely not.
