    XP Starter

    At least there you get stability
  • FatTurtleFatTurtle
    Actually none of the above is my choice.

    I would rather download Longhorn.
  • BODBOD
    err XP
  • RNRN
    I choose ME.
  • joelvanderveenjoelvanderveen
    I don't think I've ever used ME, but based on the negative reviews it's earned from just about everyone, it sounds like I would want to avoid this one. (But what is so wrong with ME, other than its' stability?)

    And as I said in another thread, XP Starter Edition sounds quite useless for getting any serious work done. If you're running a browser, an instant messaging program, and an MP3 player, then you're already at your limit. Many users would not have a problem with this, but I certainly would.

    Put me down as another "neither". lol

    Yea 3 programs would SUCK, I would go though that soo fast. They're probably gonna rig it so that Microsoft ones don't count but anti MS ones (Ffx, Tbd, AIM, etc) do. Well regardless, I never thought I'd say this, but Windows ME.

    windows me, i need to run multiple programs

    Someone will come up with a hack sooner or later that lets you run unlimited programs, therefore I chose XP, even though I like high resolutions...

    I heard someone already made a hack

    :? That was fast

    Probably just TweakNT 1.22!

    The better is XP, of course.
  • RNRN
    Yeah XP is loads better than ME, but this is about XP Starter vs. Me.
  • SlashSlash
    Xp starter is a three-tasking piece of crap.
  • RNRN
    Don't say its a piece of crap just YET. WHo knows? It might be a pretty good stripped down version of XP.
  • SlashSlash
    I believe that Russian hackers will make a patch that will erase that 3-apps limit and make from this true Windows XP.
  • BODBOD
    this might work good on handhelds

    I pick ME because you can play 90% of the older games and also it isn't as bloted. Although ME is just like XP. Unstable, bloted and sucks more memory then a whore sucking a golf ball thou a garden hose.
  • IBMWarpsterIBMWarpster
    XP seems to run just fine for me.

    It never seems to use more than 300MB of my 640Mb.

    Sure, 2000 can use 150Mb of RAM, but whats the difference? I still have like 300Mb free if I use XP, that good enough for me.
  • BODBOD
    XP never uses all my ram
  • IBMWarpsterIBMWarpster
    You only got 128Mb, Im sure tcp has more
  • BODBOD
    im sure he has, but im maxed out....
  • MentalMadnessMentalMadness
    I would go for Win2K, but if i had to choose between ME and XPSE, i would go for ME.
    As I am typing this i got loads of apps running: AIM, MSN, Mozilla, Winamp, WINLIRC, SigX, NAV, Bleutooth app and so on...
  • BlueSunBlueSun
    well i've never used ME but it would sure beat some stupid 3 app limit besides i'm sure you could undjust ME like you can 98 and it'd be fine but like i said i never used ME but from what i've heard its just about the worst windows ever made.
  • RNRN
    You're my idol BlueSun... You didn't bash ME.... Well kinda didn't.
  • BlueSunBlueSun
    i try to reserve judgement on things i haven't actually used, but i would never use XP starter cause a 3 app limit is the worst idea ever but ME could maybe work, if its anything like 98 it'd be fine with a few minor adjustments
  • RNRN
    ME isn't that bad. I've used it for about a year. Its probably even more in my opinion, stable than Windows 98.
  • BlueSunBlueSun
    well if so then i guess its doing its job, right? the whole point of making ME was to be more stable then 98 right?
  • AndrewAndrew
    I would rather have ME than XP Starter. At least you get a full OS.

    That's very true. Good point there raDeon.
