McGregor Posted September 9, 2003 Posted September 9, 2003 I don't wanna spend 100 quid on windows xp, but I can get Windows 2000 for free, would MTA work on that by any chance? Thanks
b0b0 Posted September 9, 2003 Posted September 9, 2003 Windows XP is 2000's successor and is based on 2k, I guess it's worth a shot.
vegetto34 Posted September 9, 2003 Posted September 9, 2003 Windows 2000 = version 5.0 Windows XP = version 5.1 XP is more of a marketing gimmic than anything. Some software is now forcing you to use XP and ONLY XP otherwise it will not install. Windows 2000 is faster than XP. Don't believe me? Look it up. XP is like ME. Terrible. Get 2000 with service pack 4 and save some money. My Computer
iCeh Posted September 10, 2003 Posted September 10, 2003 XP is poop, at least wait until the next service pack, cause the one atm is awful, im using win2k pro, and would never go back to XP, it smells, its dirty, and retro games never work on it -iCeh
Cudda Kine Posted September 10, 2003 Posted September 10, 2003 well, u need good hardware to run XP. Duh!!! Go with XP if u have 2000mhz+ Godfather of the Gang. NOT [TM]. They are a Different Gang. FAGS ARE IMPOSTERS
Cudda Kine Posted September 10, 2003 Posted September 10, 2003 How would u get 2000 for free? Godfather of the Gang. NOT [TM]. They are a Different Gang. FAGS ARE IMPOSTERS
Si|ent Posted September 10, 2003 Posted September 10, 2003 MTA works fine in Win2k pro, which is what i use myself, in fact as you have no need to mess around with compatibility modes it works better in it that in XP. (which i also tried, and removed after an hour to go back to win2k) The artist formerly known as [MTA]MrBump
Dealer Posted September 10, 2003 Posted September 10, 2003 Win 2k is the only decent thing Microsoft has made Linux forever altho im on win2k at the moment But i had no probs running mta on it or anything else for that matter, as for software being released on XP only, Its not worth bothering with, Sod XP and any developers creating XP Only software Speed of ur PC doesnt make XP any better...... its whack get ur win2k {ULK}Dealer I'm Back ? Did i ever Leave ? If u saw some random guy running around ur server killing u all, it was most likely me!
HeKeZu Posted September 10, 2003 Posted September 10, 2003 I bought w2k and it is the best windows operating system. I have tried xp but I DIDN'T LIKE IT AT ALL. All my games ran terribly and so on. W2k is the best and i have no problems with games (except some dos games). Damn. Life's maps are REALLY big. Nice models (especially women). HeKeZu 100% home-made psycho (no refunds)
FiShMaStEr Posted September 10, 2003 Posted September 10, 2003 win2k is the fucking bomb excuse the language but its stable, quick and runs everything there is on the internet. i have had no probs, no crashes and no blue screen of death let alone a error message for almost 6 months now owner and founder of: http://www.fseportal.com http://www.gtacentral.net Proud member of the board since the begining.

Cudda Kine Posted September 10, 2003 Posted September 10, 2003 Well im not saying 2000 sucks because i have Windows 2000 Professional, Server, Advanced Server, & Data Center on my Virtual PC.(Which im running off of Windows XP Media Center Edition) Godfather of the Gang.

McGregor Posted September 10, 2003 Author Posted September 10, 2003 Thanks all, Im glad i don't have to spend 100 quid!
MTA Team Blokker_1999 Posted September 10, 2003 MTA Team Posted September 10, 2003 I use XP for more than a year now, and it's stable as a rock. The latest Winblows is most of the times the best (the only exception was Me). But if ya want tha best : take linux
Gussi Posted September 10, 2003 Posted September 10, 2003 so sad ppl can't upgrade to XP cuz of the sucky hardware they got
fleccy Posted September 10, 2003 Posted September 10, 2003 what is this? the windows 2000 arse kissing thread xp wins 2000 easy
vegetto34 Posted September 10, 2003 Posted September 10, 2003 As I said: Windows 2000 is faster than Windows XP. It's been tested numerous times. No one said anything about stability (except the one guy a few posts up) and unless Microsoft really screwed XP, it will be just as stable as 2000. My Computer
fleccy Posted September 10, 2003 Posted September 10, 2003 xp is way better and longhorn will be better than xp and after longhorn there will be Blackcomb which is better than longhorn
Iam A. Spammer Posted September 10, 2003 Posted September 10, 2003 Linux ppl... Linux... don't waste time comparing winsh*t! Is this really my name or a reference to an ability of mine? FREE PRON
iCeh Posted September 10, 2003 Posted September 10, 2003 lol, u need a fast PC to run XP? You should work for microsoft, im sure you'd sell a lot of copies with that sales pitch -iCeh
McGregor Posted September 10, 2003 Author Posted September 10, 2003 (nuffin to do wiv MTA now..) iCeh, is Michael Jackson ur fav character on Bo Selecta? I fink elton john is funny lol
me Posted September 10, 2003 Posted September 10, 2003 xp is way better and longhorn will be better than xp and after longhorn there will be Blackcomb which is better than longhorn question: on what info do you base your assertion that Blackcomb will be better than longhorn? oh ya, and same question, blackcomb changed to longhorn, and longhorn changed to XP Linux, people!

b0b0 Posted September 10, 2003 Posted September 10, 2003 Linux ppl... Linux... don't waste time comparing winsh*t! Gentoo = :D :D :D :D :D I remember, when I was installing Windows XP, I recall a message on the install screen that made me fall out of my chair laughing. It went something like this: Now whenever a program freezes, you don't have to restart the computer! EDIT: Oh yes. For you Windows slaves: http://www.knoppix.net/ Behold, Linux on a CD (Live CD). You can use this to experiment with linux yourself! Once you get the hang of the shell, get out of kde and use fluxbox!!!!!!

SM Gulag Posted September 11, 2003 Posted September 11, 2003 My win XP Pro runs flawlessly. I don't know what the problem is with everyone else, but for me it runs better than 2K did when I had that. all I can say is that if you are building a new comp you should go w/ XP Pro or 2K Pro. They are both equally alike in pros and cons. Win98/NT is old. ME is worse. Linux is a whole nother deal that I wouldn't waste my time with unless I was a game developer or post production editor. Is Linux based off of the old Unix shell? Or you can get a combo called Lindows, I laughed my ass off when I saw this one. Lets just say that it is a feature that is offered in WalMart computers. I can kill you with my bare hands.
me Posted September 11, 2003 Posted September 11, 2003 HAHAHAHAHAHA! I just saw their site! I hope there's someone who can sue them for using Linux, and not making it free. For that matter, I hope there's someone who can sue them for making a shitty OS Yes, Linux is based off of UNIX... There are a bunch of others based off of it too... btw: Linux isn't just a command-line thing. And of course, who can resist an OS whose mascot is a penguin named Tux?
