Win2K over XP by far.

I've used both and I haven't really been able to determine which one I really prefer. 2k definitely has a familiar classic feel, but I've had to debug stuff more in 2k.

linux is far from user friendly. Unless you know what you're talking about, please kindly be quiet.

although I haven't used xp much, from what I've heard, I agree with andy although xp does have a quicker startup...

well number one what do you plan on doing with your computer and what are your specs? if you plan on gaming much i would go with 98 or xp probably xp because it is still supported 2000 is great for the advanced user, but xp can do most of the same stuff almost as well unless you are trying to run a server of some sort. personally i use xp on my home computer and for all our servers we use linux, the only truely good OS.

eeek! don't even touch 98. I would actually spend a lot more time on redhat if gaim actually blinked when you received messages. For some reason that's just annoying to me.

there is no truly GOOD os... every os has its problems. And 2000 is just as supported as XP is in regards to gaming and drivers... hell XP is really close to 2000 in kernel and such.

XP can get annoying w/ all of the different names but that can also be nice
