  • xp awesome best ever

  • go to 5:35 and turn CC on and put trnasribe audio and enjoy :D

  • i now run 7 but i'm gonna upgrade my secondary computer to a mac

  • Comment removed

  • Windows 7 runs fine with 1gb ram. If you dont have this in 2011 I pity you.

  • vista is crap delete it

  • people are still using windows xp in 2011 I use xp on my laptop and 7 on my desktop

  • Wow... I've had XP all the way from when it came out until early 2011. April 2011: got Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit, and it's by far the best OS I've ever used!

  • Windows 2000 was supported until July 13, 2010. It is still supported for crucial security updates (no stability updates, those have all been worked out) and many third parties like Mozilla and Opera still release software for it.

    Windows 2000 > Windows 98 > Windows 7 > Windows XP

    Support for Windows 98 started to go down the drain after 2009. Now you have to use KernelEx to get certain programs working.

    Modern hardware + Old software = 100% stability

  • @davejoshmom1 *Cough* Google Tiny7 *Cough*

  • Woot for linux.

  • On my pc with a 3.63Ghz core2duo, HD5670 1GB and 8GB DDR3...Win7 64-bit is only using up 1.6GB RAM and Win7 32-bit uses up around 512MB (netbook with 1.6GHz Atom, 1GB DDR2) idle.

    It's not really fair to run an OS on an old PC and make such a judgement when there's clear requirement. It's going to appear slow and like a resource hog compared to a decent pc within in the last 4 years.

    XP was good for its time and it's good for super low spec computers, but it's ancient and it's time to move on

  • @LordReserei01 Reason why 64 bit uses more memory is because it needs the extra memory for 64 bit programs, 32 bit uses less because well... It plainly doesn't need as much. Also I agree, its time to move on. I agree with Microsoft cutting off support for XP as well, this frees up developers for Vista and 7 in the future :).

  • I already knew the reason for 64-bit using more RAM. ;-)

  • 48% of the market still uses windows XP... So what was that you were saying chris... BTW it's 2011. I have a mac and run XP in VMware fusion it's soooo much bearable than vista.

  • XP of course. Vista takes TOO much RAM.

  • @davejoshmom1 They hug resources? I think you mean hog, and Windows 7 is much more efficient. You can only consider them hogs if your computer is 10 years old.

  • XP SP3, I keep it, I can watch 1080p Videos so it's fine

  • I have XP and vista, vista is a good improvement. Windows 7 is a huge improvement.

  • Upgraded to Windows 7 the day it came out. I always skip every other windows release. Ive owned Windows 3.11, 98, XP and now 7. By skipping every other one ive managed to skip all the lemon oses. ME and Vista sucked.

  • 2011 and still on XP on my desktop. Although I did get a MacBook Pro for Christmas, and I have to admit, it is a welcome change. Things work :)

  • Hi can you tell me what vista is like compaired to windows 7???

  • @bazzerg84 You can't compare Vista with Windows 7

    Vista sucks

  • fuck u its 2011 and ive just got a new laptop and its on xp.. so shut up slut. wtf u on about. half the people on computers still have xp

  • @jase1091 That's true. 50% of people who use a Windows OS are using XP. There's nothing wrong with XP. I've been using it since it was released and I love it. Although, 7 is a lot better then XP. But still, XP is fine.

  • Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit ftw :)

  • Im still on XP and loving it!

  • xp sp3 will be supported untin 2014, although retail sales stopped this year

  • Going on into 2011...  Still using XP...

  • i can't tell is you said xp or sp

  • Battle for the title of the worst Windows OS ever!

    Windows Vista vs Windows ME

    .... FIGHT!

  • @LtSurge659 I would still say ME.. Narrowly.

  • I plan to stick with Windows XP until July 2014.

  • @XT167 But we will die in 2012?

  • I got windows 7 as host pc and xp on virtuabox Love em both

  • XP XP XP

  • and yes i am fucking installing windows xp on y new macbook pro i hate win 7 most games i loke dont work on it and i got like 5 times bsod i dont understand a shit of it re installed w7 3 times im sick of it now back to xp much happier ahhh all games works perfect ! ! ! ! !

  • sp2 and still going strong XD

  • NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERD

  • Nice one

  • This is October 2010 and if my old IBM running XP didn't start to go south on the hardware last week, I wouldn't have this new HP running Seven. Tomorrow I begin searching for replacement hardware for my IBM running XP because Seven is going into the garbage, even if this machine has to go with it. Who knows, maybe a MAC or overwriting this with Linux based programs. Seven sucks so bad that I bet it was Obama's idea.

  • XP still =]

  • win 7 is really good,

    works like a charm

  • nerd

  • imusing windows 7 at the moment but im selling my laptop and buying a cheaper pc and will be running windows xp in next few week because xp is still best in my eyes fast and cheap to run

  • my gaming framerate is better on XP than Vista

  • Holy crap, listen to this goof bag. It is almost 2011 and 47-60% (depending on the source) users are still on XP.

    I'm staying on XP till April 8, 2014. Then I'll switch to Linux or Mac or shmac, but not that piece of shit which is Seven.

  • @firsak well said mate im on 7 at the moment its shit xp is the way to go for now

  • The reason you need to run an updater is because if you backup your computer, but don't have your external hard drive connected all the time, then you need to be sure that the update isn't gonna mess up your computer until you have done a backup. My external hard drive saved my Mac once.

  • Ur a fuckin dick pleaser

  • I had XP in 2009. Now I have Windows 7.

  • Xp untill I die xD

  • I got windows 7!

  • In all reality, Vista and XP are all one in the same. All Vista is was a prettier version of XP and some more security features but yet it was easier to get hacked, how does that work?

  • @DemonChamber666 One and the same? Uhhh... Vista is slower..... Has a few different features... Has different ways of doing things... Takes up more resources... And yet it's the same as XP??

  • @DeltaPhi79 But either way you break it down even if it's slower and has those fucking lame as shit UAC and shit doesn't mean it's not the same. The real only difference is that it's prettier, takes more vram, and has extra security which helped none. But down to the basics they are the EXACT same program.

  • I can't wait until Vista releases SP3!

  • ur defending vista and u have a mac o.O

  • lataaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

  • people help how to downolad windows vista sp 1 full for free

  • Is XP Service Pack 3 safe. or does it crash your computer?

  • Comment removed

  • @superhumungo Sp3 is safer than Sp2. And it doesnt crash your pc

  • Comment removed

  • I don't think it says anything depressing about those people. Most people don't do as much as you do and only want a stable platform for what they do use their PC for, one they can rely on, XP provided that. If it's a decade old but still accomplishes what you need it to, then why bother. "If it aint broke" is the way the ordinary person tends to view an OS.

  • @RCTPatriot75 well actually I'd like to contrast what you said, I'm a PC gamer, I'm an aspiring IT, and love to tweak computers, I'm a heavy user and explore the components of the system on a wide, broad scale, and I'm still running XP SP3 on my main machine, my laptop has 7 on it and i tried to put it on my desktop but I can't (apparently) use my product code on more than one machine, I swear that's bullshit.

  • windows vista

  • im still on xp avoided vista like the plague, im tempted by windows 7 tho...

  • just download the looks of vista for xp

  • i liked vista =p

  • almost may 2010, using XP

    if I ever switch, I'd switch to Ubuntu

  • ive been using Windows XP since 2007 when i got a hand me down P3 based computer, and since then, im still using XP after 3 years! (i use vista too lol)

  • XP is not 'huge' like one chatter said. on a clean install, my xp, with music and sp3, only takes up 5.4GB of disk space.

  • i use XP on my Compaq desktop and Vista on my Dell laptop. soo i use them both, and i like them both.

  • hmmm its 2010 and i am still using xp... i can bet my life, that my computer run faster than this wanker, who says that windows xp would be outdated by 2009..... you dont know what your talking about... VISTA IS A MEMORY HOG!!!!!!! 7 is much better but windows xp is stable run smooth and doesn't use that many resources...

  • @yasirjan87 Get more memory? I have 4Gb of memory and Vista is doing fine. Installed a new processor, hard drive, graphics card, powersupply all without no blue screen. Vista has never crashed on my before...

  • @cokefan3 maybe you havent tried doing any intensive gaming or video editing.

  • Resist the NWO agenda, grow a herb/veg garden

  • @yasirjan87 Same here!! still on xp and loving it

  • @yasirjan87 And it's still outdated.

  • @yasirjan87

    More stable - Nope.

    Memory hog - Doesn't affect anyone with 2GB or more of RAM.

    Faster - No again, Vista is optimised for 64 bit and unlike xp it's version actually has support.

    The only difference between Vista and 7, is 7 is slightly faster and has a hideous UI. All the drivers are cross compatible, it is actually the best gaming platform because it is the most stable regarding games.

    All the hate for Vista is media driven bullshit. I'll use it over xp or 7 any day.

  • @ljscott1990 Uhhh no. It's not. Back when Vista came out, a lot of computers back then only had 512MB or 1GB of RAM for the ones most consumers could afford. *NOW* tell me it's all media driven.

  • @DeltaPhi79 Actually, it's more like false advertising on new computers being sold before Vista. Most "Vista Capable" computers before Vista was released were NOT really capable of Vista. That was the reason why people got mad why Vista is not really capable on their "Vista Capable" machine. Windows 7 didn't have anymore those stickers before Windows 7 was released so they prevented some issues that Vista had.

  • Comment removed

  • @yasirjan87 i love windows xp but i agree windows vista is bull shit man lol

  • заткнись далбоеб !!!

  • So, i buy a new computer, 4 times the specs and boots two times slower than the one with xp. So, tell me, what is the deal there? The computers getting faster and faster but giving you the same experience thanks to the bloated os.

  • If 98 lasted for 12 years now where people are still able to use it, why shouldn't XP be able to?

  • lockergnome, keep these good videos coming into youtube.

  • I have computers with XP, Vista, and 7.

  • @A135S4656 i have xp and win 7 with i hate it

  • definitively windows XP i still using in my LAN at home

  • i have to tell this but in 2010 i am a xp user and it s best windows ever made it

    and i don't like new vista and 7 i think after i will be bored from XP i will pass to Macintosh... 7 takes to much memory from ram ,HDD , why to spend my time with 7 when can play games with more speed one XP

  • Actually, most benchmarks show 7 outperforming XP in gaming.

  • windows 2000 here, running perfectly and honestly more stable and secure (I always use Antivirus/antispyware though as I'm not a complete fucking idiot unlike the whiners who go why I get virus you bastards I switch to mac) then any pc running XP as I've seen so far yet it still allows for DX 9.0 and up (cept 10) :3

    so I can play Halo (which I have been doing) with my Radeon 9200. xD (It surprising kicks ass)

  • Hey Chis, I'm still running Windows XP in 2010, that burst your bubble... Alot of people still run XP. Can my computer handle Vista and 7? Of course it can! I've tried it, just don't like the new OS. Thinking of switching to Ubuntu permanently actually, just testing it out via Wubi to see what software is supported... But for now, XP is imho great.

  • Me too. XP is a miracle from Microsoft, instead of taking an older PC and installing Windows 7 on it, I used (don't tell anybody o_O...) a pirated copy of XP, and it's a LOT better than other OS's... not Snow Leopard, but on Windows OS's.

  • XP sp3:)...

  • Comment removed

  • sp1

  • XPx64 here

  • xp pro 2010 :-D

  • i,m using windows 7 ultimate!

    the best!

  • I using a windows xp, but the must secure system is a linux, and linux are freeware. An incovenient are the games for windows don´t run in linux, but exist very games very nice to linux.

  • i am using windows xp till i have to upgrade, then may by going on linux

  • or 7 I have vista ultimate and luv it it's perfect on my system

  • XP!!!!!!

    XP!!!!!!

  • Still using XP :)

  • Yeah... 1GB and better without any

    antivirus installed. The bloody OS

    damn crawls... my clients who bought

    their machines in 2009 cries for help

    after having Vista installed with Symantec

    Norton AV in it. 2GB and it's still crawling.

  • Why would you need an eye-candy OS?

    So you can waste your RAM running a

    good cosmetic upfront on your screen?

    Windows XP only requires 200MB to run.

    Windows 7 needs 1GB. And Vista needs

    2GB!! Now choose again...

    I rather use the less-RAM consumption OS

    in order to save memory for other apps than

    wasting it just to satisfy myself with a pretty

    GUI.

  • Vista needs 1.5GB

  • Still... what difference does it make?

    1.5GB is a bloody joke. I'm sticking

    to Win XP.

  • actually, it's 1. I looked at the min requirements.

  • Exactly why I love XP so much.

  • what i ONLY hate about xp:eye candy

    solution:windows 7

  • The solution is get the Zune theme, then VOrb (vista theme changer) and Aero glass for XP.

  • Time to switch for security sake? I think you mean time to get some common sense and don't open an email from someone you don't know and get a GOOD antivirus.

  • i have xp on one computer and windows 7 on my other. i cant see any problems with XP exept eye candy, and maybe DirectX10 or newer

  • win 7

  • xp for life xp for life xp for life xp for life xp for life

    xp for life xp for life xp for life xp for life xp for life xp for life

    xp for life xp for life xp for life xp for life xp for life xp for life

    xp for life xp for life xp for life xp for life xp for life xp for life

    xp for life

  • iv been using xp for 5-6 years ( i think lol ) and its fine :\

  • I am really impressed with Windows XP SP3 and really like it running on my desktop but I guess thats all my computer can really run on it., I been trying to get a bigger hard drive that is the old way instead of SATA which my computer can't take because its Refurbished but I have updated a lot for this PC.

  • XP is awesome but it's time is waning

  • id rather use win 95

  • FUCK THAT. I'll be using XP with a Vista THEME FOREVER.

  • Hellz yea

  • you suck big balls dummy!!!!!!!

  • wtf i bet ill be 2010 and ill still be using xp

  • I still use XP. I'm gonna' wait some time before I get Windows 7. Mostly because of it's steep price.

  • XP is suck graphics, Vista is better graphics. Vista is online Windows Live. not XP

  • are you fucking stupid? they have the same fucking graphics omg.. Its ur PC hwo sucks.. The games are automaticly setting ur grapichs after what fits for ur graphics card... and the XP would give you better graphics..

  • u are shit? XP release November 2001 is old. This is not same graphics. Vista release November 2006 (volume licensing)

    January 2007 (retail). Vista is better version!! hah! stupid kid.

  • so what's ur basicly saying is that if i am gaming on a XP the graphics wont be that good?.....

  • Comment removed

  • UR BASICLY SAYING THAT vista got better graphics than xp wtf?! does ur desktop have a nicer picture on vistA?.., lets do ur language dumb u shit why shit kid no undastand

  • Comment removed

  • snow leopard

  • You calling me depressed for using XP since it came out? Lol Just kidding! I am really confused. What OS should I use? I am thinking of either 7 or XP. I have used XP to a long time and am kinda bored of it. Don't get me wrong, its my favorite OS. But its time for change.

  • get 7, im using it, and I feel like god told microsoft how to make an operating system finally. :)

  • U ARE FUCKIN GAY!!!!

  • How much benefit, dual core vs single core, and do dual core pc consume more electric than single core. Can anyone shed light on this.

  • Dual cores eat up more elect, yes but not that much VERY LITTLE! :D (Unless your doing gaming with a dual core 3.4 GHZ Intel or AMD. Then your talking about eating up elect.

    Quad cores will rape elct... But the most electricity eating devices are Graphics Cards.

  • vista is in better shape now cause of sp1 but even with sp1 its utter crap compared to windows 7 =p

  • o_O This guy is kinda annoying he talked a lot about all his opinions and not really about Windows XP SP3 vs Vista SP1..... I have XP SP3 and I love it, I have had, like 20 people who buy new pc's with vista and they BUY XP and put it on their new vista PC...that says a lot, maybe Windows 7 will be something else but Vista is a pig and u can throw all the lipstick (ServicePacks) to it and it will still be a resource hog you need a supercomputer to get 60+ frame rate on 3 year old games lol

  • but u cant run slion windows xp it requires vista

    i also use sp3 ut now vista for sli

  • @svegxl actually vista is pretty good, i can play halflife 2 on my vista pc with 3 gigs on ram flawlessly

  • @TechBoywii It's only good because you have a sort of good machine.

  • Vista doesn't deserve the bashing you guys give it. You guys are treating it like its windows millenium(definetly deserves a bashing) I've been using vista service pack 1 and it hasn't had any crashing or issues. All you windows 7 lovers look like a bunch of hypocrites honestly I find some of the features in 7 to be stupid or useless like areo shake. All these people who say windows 7 is the bomb will probaly in front of microsoft complaining about windows 7's issues or ditched it for a new OS.

  • What's so sad about having XP in 2009? I live in romania. It's the shittiest country in Europe. I don't have the money to buy a PC for Vista or Windows7. The only hope for me would be to win the lottery.

  • mah, nu cumpara kktul de vista, vista e cel mai mare kkt care lam vazut vreodata, asa spun toti, ramai cu xp, eu am avut vista, shi cu acei 6 giga de ram amei, vista minca 3 gb, shi jocurile frinau, ramai cu xp, eu acuma tot am xp, xp e cel ma ibun, pace.P.S. eu is din moldova o tzara mai de kkt ;)

  • Si romania ii lafel de saraca si mizerabila. Acu am Windows 7 x64 si ii categoric mult mai bun ca Vista si cam lafel de bun ca XP. Am 12 Gb ram DDR3 si Windowsu imi ocuma numa 512 (1Gb cand am multe aplicatii deschise)

  • woow tiai cumparat computer nou? la mn windows 7 maninca 300 mb shi merge super :D

  • I went to Linux, and besides games on Windows I see no reason to go back, none at all.

  • I agree with mathewkutty, to hell with vista. I have a hp pavilion a6228x, 2GB ram, vista premium, service pack 1 & 2, XXX2 core... bull crap. My old compaq sr1330nx with 512 MB ram, single core, windows xp, and it is just as good as the might a6228x. Imagine the sr1330nx have dual core, 2 GB ram, it probably could conquer this world. Can't believe microHard spent all that time and money and came up with such a bad operating system (vista). Vista accomplish nothing except wasting time and money

  • Yea XP is way better, my computer would boot up in like 1 minute and ready to use, while VIsta which I have now takes 3 fucken minutes which is bull shit. Also XP would shut down in 30 seconds compared to Vista Which takes 1 minute. XP also ran all my applications smooth including my games.

  • same here

  • XP SP3, hands down - rock solid And, I love the interface. To hell with Vista and W7.

  • I have vista. I might upgrade xp and windows 7.

    They don't have windows 7 yet.

  • I feel like I was forced to vista, becuase I was using XP Professional a few months ago and was just doing what I normally do (Gaming) and it froze. I did what any man would do, press every button on my keyboard and smacked the mouse against my mouse mat. Did a restart and it wasn't booting after, so i tried a reboot. My computer never allowed any of the XP discs I had but funnily it only allowed Vista or Windows 7. Oh well, at least I managed to upgrade to Vista Ultimate x64 SP2

  • I love XP, but most of the computers you buy used with XP are the older, slower ones. When I get a different PC, I am going to get a used one that came pre-loaded with Vista, and install XP on it. Vista is such a hog that those computers that run it standard have to be fast and powerful, so the right one should be a monster with XP on it!

  • That's what I did, definitely do it. Vista is an abomination on laptops. My laptop runs very nicely with XP, with better battery life and overall speed.

    Just remember to download all your drivers etc, and download something like windowblinds to skin it and give it that vista look - the ONLY thing I would say Microsoft improved with Vista, it does look nice.

  • i agree VISTA SUCKS

  • what is better for gaming xp or vista? if i get xp can i still upgrade to windows 7?

  • I would recommend XP because it doesnt use so many resources but if you have a monster pc I guess you can use both.Anyway Vista is full of errors

  • XP to win7 isnt supported but vista is better for gaming due to its support for DX10 and soon DX11

  • xp cause its asmaller operating system thus making games load faster n smoother

  • this guys voice is annoying

  • Get yourself Linux. I don't bother with Microsoft pish but I have to use it at work. This guy is pure astrocruft - good luck though mate, good show.

  • i am a non native english speaker can you please tell me what astocruft means looked it up in the dictionary with no luck!

  • i use windows 2000

  • Yeha i hope so that they keep suporting it, cuz vista sucks for gaming and windows 7 isnt out yet.. but soon it will and hope it works for gaming ha

  • windows 7 runs on best resulutions of all

  • why the fuck r people fighting over OS its stupid but i will tell u lot which 1ns the best and thats

    XP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1­11

  • agreed!

  • if u don`t know what 1 to run why don`t u run vista then just ghost xp r the other way around depending on what u want from ur computer that way u get best of both worlds

  • I have a ASUS and it came with Vista Home Premium, its good so far but I'm still thinking about going into Linux.

  • Well summer 2009 has come and gone, and i am still using XP. I have plans to build a Windows 7 system next year.

  • Fighting over OS is just plain stupid.

    I am using Linux, so what? :)
