With so many people making XP skins, how many of you are actually plannin to upgrade to Win XP?

If not, how many of you are planning to stick with Win98/ME?

Right now I am using ME and it is pissing me off so much that I reverting back to 98. If XP is as good as everyone claims it is I'll buy it as long as I can continue to skin it with windowblinds also.

I'll be sticking to my dualboot with 2K and 98 (1.ed)!! Good enough for me!

XP has some additional features that make it a nice upgrade, but if you truly like to game, then stick with 98se or W2K Pro. The first thing I did when using the Beta, was turn off, alot of the crap, that is preinitialized, from MS. There are alot of services and features that the average user, need not have running. XP is a clever ploy for MS, to start unifying the Market, and bringing all the users under their terms and stratagies. Joe Blow User will no doubt accept, whatever is running under the hood without question. This is where MS gets ya...
Standard by default...

Not only no, but hell no.

Well, unless MS changes their "protection" scheme, I sure won't be upgrading my OS. I play with my hardware too much, and I'll be "@#$%ed" if I'll ask their permission everytime I want to upgrade my machine...

That, along with the fact that Steve Gibson has major problems with WinXP security and it's Full Raw Sockets...

Windows XP? I'd never stoop so low... come to think of it, I've never purchased a single version of Windows, yet they're coming out of my ears. My eyes hurt, I need sleep.

Hell no, never ever.
From all I've read from it, there is NOTHING compelling about it. Only annoying things (HailStorm, protection keys, etc.). No XP is Microsoft's first step into the .NET strategy with witch Microsoft plan to completly take over the whole electronics industry (cameras, PDA, game consoles, even eventually refrigerators, cars, TVs) with proprietary standards. I will take no part in that.
I will switch definatly to Linux before I do.
No way.

I'm sticking with 98se for as long as I can. It works just fine.

I run 98se at the moment and it's crash resistance is below .25, 2000 has to many compatability issues. Hopefully XP will overcome both of these, and I really don't care about spending 5 mins on a toll free MS support line for a code if I need to!

XP is Super Stable, but there is alot of crap buried in it, and who knows what MS has tinkered in to it..

I will be upgrading to XP but I will NOT be running any of the Luna themes. Just the basic theme for me.!

I might check it out once it finds it's way to my machine, but only as a third option next to Win98 and Win2000. I really prefer Win98 for some reason.
