Does SEIV run on XP????

[JayBdey]

This system (XP Pro) has been on for the Last 2 weeks and it's still as stable as when it is first rebooted.

2 weeks is not much.

I never saw XP Pro Last longer than 2000 before becoming unstable and needing to be rebooted.

The hardware you are running is also a big factor in how often Windows crashes. This is why some people almost never saw crashes when running Windows 98, whereas others saw crashes every day...

I have never seen a BSOD on XP but it does occasionally freeze up and I have to reboot.

(hopefully you guys do realize there are games other than SEIV)

Well sure we do. I mean there was SEIII, and before that there was SEII.

And I have something called tetris on my mobile phone, but I can't work out how to colonise all these funny shaped planets that keep appearing.

Oh, no, the funny shapes aren't planets, their building blocks for a colony. See, the people your building for like holes everywhere, so you always gotta leave holes or a row gets deleted. When you get to the top, you win.

Hey, I never really said I didn't like Windows XP, I'm just saying that I prefer Win98 and Win2000 better. The only thing I was complaining about is this new "Longhorn" OS M$ is trying too spit out. I always here the argument that you need too go along with M$ with its product updates because the older OS's will become obsolete and everyone else is using new OS's, so basically you are forced too follow the leader.

But the bad thing about this new OS "Longhorn" (more like Mad-cow) is that the entire OS is going too run through DirectX which mean that all the little fancy windows and applications will run through DirectX. Which means that new Computer systems are going too have too rely on hefty video cards that take up a lot of power compared too PC's today. I've heard a "Longhorn" system could consume over twice the power this way and for buisnesses that is bad news. Why do you think buisnesses love Durons and Celerons, because they run at low power and do not require a hefty graphics card too run an OS or games with. All I can say is if M$ is forcing this new OS onto people too sell their product and force more powerful PCs, they better make the PCs more energy effeicent because buisnesses just can't afford too take it in the @ss in power consumption.

I'm sorry, but XP is going too be the Last M$ OS I'm going too used. I'm very curious about this new OS "Linspire" and if it can run most of my older Win98 games on it, I will be happy.

More and more business go Linux every day anyways... nothing beats cost efficiency like free.
