I only sync once a week, I don't need to be _that_ up to date. That reminds me I need to set up a cron job to take care of that for me, I keep forgetting.

Fag, because it's not bloated with useless shit therefore it runs faster and takes less RAM. And the Control Panel is nicer, as in "less stupidified".

Eh, what? The control panel is pretty much the same in XP as it is in 2K.
FAIL for not knowing how to optimise XP to run in a similar memory footprint to 2000.

Uh-huh. Have you ever disabled all the useless services and removed all the cruft from XP, and then compared? On a limited machine?
I have.
It's night and day, mate. Anyone who claims otherwise is either full of shit or sniffing glue.

The reason I ask why 2k is bettar is because I recently got a job which entailed maintaining windows workstations and the genius who had the job before me, who also thinks kix32.exe is the next best thing to ice cream and has aids, keeps telling me I should stick with 2k because it is so amazingly stable. I refuse to believe him, as far as I can see there is no difference between the two if you select the classic theme.

2000 is faster, period.
There isn't much difference in stability on the same hardware.
Yes I have also. And the difference in performance was negligible.

I've been running it for years and never modified a single game installer. You must be pretty dumb.

No, 2000 isn't faster. You're a fucking idiot, that's the whole difference.

You bet it is. I used to develop on 2000 box. It was a 400MHz PII with 64MB RAM. It ran quite comfortably. XP, with most services disabled, and stripped of the cruft, didn't run all that well on a 2GHz Athlon, 256MB of RAM. I'd like to see it run on that old PII box.
And before someone says that's due to XP needing a lot more RAM, I'd like to remind you that thrashing kills your performance.
But hey, don't let facts get in the way of your emotional attachment to XP. Just call people fucking idiots, and that'll make it all better, >>39!
