vista made me go BACK TO THE FUTURE!!!

Vista's monstrous bloat made me disgust bloat so much...that even XP started
to irritate me...

Even on new machies vista is...slowpoke-vista!

Out of frustration I wanted something that was compatible, stable but also
lightweight.

I went ahead and installed an old windows 2000 copy I had on a separate hdd
disk on my test machine!

Of course I had win2000 in the past on older slower machines.. but on new
hardware this momma flies!!

Man it is fast!! 400% faster than vista.. and I don't miss anything vista
has...

Its like its a totally new computer from the future speedwise.

my programs dont load... they fly! Im leavig this baby on for a while

BACK TO THE FUTURE....... vista is too "outdated" and a mistake!

The future is lean OS that stay in the background..giving all power to your
app.

I must add that I have never ever (or perhaps I have forgotten how it was)
seen so fast network transfers and network browsing!

I mean XP was ok... a little slow.. but vista? Vista was totally pathetic in
this area... WIN2K is so much faster its like you forget that the files are
at a remote location and it feels like you are working on them locally!

Just make sure you update 2k, sp4 comes to mind (don't have it myself).

That's OK as long as all your hardware is supported on the older OS.
People with newer equipment may run into problems.

What's really fun is to try and play some old DOS games on new hardware.
It's almost impossible as most of them used loops to insert delays and other
really bad programming methods.

I just do not recognize the computers you folk talk about. I have never seen
a slow XP or Vista on a fully equipped (3,500mhz + Processor, 1,024mg + Ram)
and I see lots of computers in my work.

To get a real hoot, you should try Elive Linux. It even runs decently on a
P166 with 64mb.

There is a fix for that. A little utility called "moslow" which lets you
control the execution speed and make things playable again. =)

Ah so...learned about hitting the brick wall with DOS, I see. Runtime
errors and compilation errors of old DOS and Windows 3.X programs will
increase with CPU speed.
