DEMOn Posted November 20, 2002 What OS(s) do you have installed? or a better way to put it: "What OS do you normally use?" IMHO: Windows98 is the only way to fly for DOOM. 0 Share this post Link to post
Fredrik Posted November 20, 2002 Windows 2000. Yeah, it even runs doom2.exe :P 0 Share this post Link to post

AndrewB Posted November 20, 2002 Win98 most of the time, WinXP other the times. I got WinXP free with my computer. I don't see a one reason why the 2000 is more better than the XP in any of way when XP is in this case free. I just feel like talking this way. 0 Share this post Link to post
myk Posted November 20, 2002 Windows 98. I had installing Linux in mind, but I don't know what happened. (Nothing yet.) I do have an empty space of 6 gigs on my main HDD for it, though. 0 Share this post Link to post
Fredrik Posted November 20, 2002 2000 doesn't feature one tenth of XP's bloat. 0 Share this post Link to post
Grazza Posted November 20, 2002 I use Windows XP. I like its stability (this is important to me), but find its lack of decent DOS support or emulation absurd (why??), and am glad that I have found ways to disable some of its more annoying features (it would be nice if they had a single option to "disable the useless crap the marketing department insisted on"). I have Office XP, but still prefer to use Office 97. 0 Share this post Link to post

Remilia Scarlet Posted November 20, 2002 Win98 on everything but my laptop, which has WinXP Professional. Though I still miss Win 3.1 and MS-DOS 6.22. Might try Linux sometime in the future. Or partitioning a hard-drive and sticking Win 3.1 on my old computer again. 0 Share this post Link to post

Naked Snake Posted November 20, 2002 Windows XP Home Edition with XP Service Pack One and many many many tweaks. It runs fine. 0 Share this post Link to post
deathz0r Posted November 20, 2002 I hate XP and I have to live with it. If I was able to choose what OS I'd put on, I'd definitely choose win98SE, because I've never had problems with that when I used it. 0 Share this post Link to post

Arioch Posted November 20, 2002 XP Pro. 2K Pro. Debian Unstable. Fuck Win9x. Up the ass. With a 10 foot pole. Sideways. 0 Share this post Link to post
Penguin Posted November 20, 2002 i have XP, 2000 & 98 i use Win98SE because it runs my games w/out a lot of flak. plus it's ideal for DooM and it's source-ports... i can't part with MS-DOS! i CAN'T!!! 0 Share this post Link to post
Ichor Posted November 20, 2002 I had the choice between Windows 2000 and Windows 98. I chose 98 for the sole purpose of being able to use DCK and play DOS games. 0 Share this post Link to post
Fletcher` Posted November 20, 2002 Doom. I use win98 and dos, like Ichor. 0 Share this post Link to post
The Ultimate DooMer Posted November 20, 2002 Win95 rules for playing games! (no sound/music trouble, good old-fashioned SB tunes, full dos support, winfile, and to me seems more stable than the newer windows versions) 0 Share this post Link to post

myk Posted November 20, 2002 I hardly have problems with Windows 98. It never crashes or freezes, just only sometimes freezes at startup or shutdown, not while running, but I keep it very lite on installed stuff. I've had worse installs in the past, though. 0 Share this post Link to post
Little Faith Posted November 21, 2002 Windows 98 SE. It's fairly stable. I can't recall it ever freezing on startup, but sometimes it freeses at shutdown. Internet Explorer has a tendency to close itself with an error message now and then though. No damage done, however. 0 Share this post Link to post
