XP and 128MB of RAM MAN!

Tonight I just installed XP on a P3 with 128MB of memory. I need something with XP to help me work on XP computers.

XP is a toy compared to Vista. No wonder so many people think it is better. They can figure it out.

Re: XP and 128MB of RAM MAN!

OK. Are you looking to start an XP vs. Vista discussion? Cuz you posted that here in the Vista forum.

Personally I like Vista, and my XP installation, which is in a virtual machine, doesn't any additional space, power or hardware to use. It also runs considerably faster than it would on a P3, even running in a VM on Vista.

As far as "think it is better", I found Vista to be better once I figured out where everything was. That took a grand total of about an hour, which was two years ago. The fact that they changed the interface around should not be some fantastically crazy thing. Would you say Windows is better than say, OS X, simply because a person may not know where things are in OS X?
