Duh! Gawd, use linux, or if you HAVE to use a windows, use windows 99se.
I've got Windows XP Professional Edition and it's crap, i used to have Windows ME and all my games played brilliantly on that but i'm only able to play half of them now, as Windows XP rejects my old drivers for the ones it provides.

Use Linux? I use Linux 70% of the time I'm using my primary home computer (for Internet browsing, sending e-mails, typing-up homework, designing webpages, programming in Python, etc) but I'm into PC gaming and when it comes to games Linux can't rival Windows - yet. There are some good games for Linux like Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament 2003 but most modern games are only released for Windows and require Microsoft DirectX. Whilst I could try to play some of these games using a Windows emulator in Linux, I'd rather just dual-boot my computer with Windows 2000 because it's a much simpler solution and makes it far easier for me to play Internet and local network games. Windows 98SE isn't a particularly bloated version of Windows and it's semi-reliable but when I absolutely have to use Windows I go for Windows 2000 because it has far better memory management than Windows 98SE and it's less crash-prone, in my experience.
