Brian Frank 0 Posted January 1, 2002 XP Pro may be the better choice if you're having problems getting some games to run. XP is still new, and badly in need of a service pack. Share this post Link to post
clutch 1 Posted January 1, 2002 I haven't had any issues, and I am not aware of any that would draw the comment of it "badly" needing a service pack. Then again, every OS gets such comments in its first release whether or not they are deserved. Share this post Link to post
BladeRunner 0 Posted January 2, 2002 This certainly isn't the first thread I've read where the words "WinXP badly needs a Service Pack" and/or "I am not touching WinXP until SP1 is released". Maybe somebody should start a new thread listing all these issues under WinXP that so badly require a SP to fix them. Then we could all see where these problems are (Maybe I'm just assuming I haven't seen them) or suggest ways of clearing up the problem without this SP. Share this post Link to post
JP- 0 Posted January 2, 2002 Ive seen nothing in XP that makes me think its 'badly' needs a service pack, it runs great. I would go with XP on that pc simply because XP works right outta the box where as with 2k you would probably need to get loads of updates/fixes and because its the latest version. But lets face it, they are practically the same thing underneath the blueness of XP Share this post Link to post
Xiven 0 Posted January 2, 2002 XP isn't perfect yet, though many people have had no problems with it. XP randomly deciding to drop all my USB devices (very annoying when you have a USB mouse and keyboard) is enough to convince me that it's in need of something (anyone know of a fix for that one yet?), though simple hotfixes would do for now rather than a full blown service pack. I've got some XP drivers for my scanner now, so once I've fixed the USB problem I may move to XP properly. Share this post Link to post
