I've stopped using m$ OSes with XP Pro SP2 as my last & either use it natively or in a VM under Ubuntu.
Have been checking in with the progress of Otter every so often for years & the most recent version runs very, very well, so: My compliments to ALL the good & talented folks who have made it so good !!
A regular test I do is trying to open YT videos & the RC8 version will not do that, so I searched & found this info:
Hello Folks. As I've seen others post here=> I totally agree that win2kpro was the best OS that gang in Redmond ever put out.
I prefer such a nice, plain unstimulating desktop environment as the plainest classic windows desktop in w2k could be. It was stolid, nicely boring - and ran like the proverbial top - incredibly reliably.
That is the sort of desktop environment which I prefer and desire in any OS I will use at all regularly.
The best I can think to say about myself presently is that I am in-between OS 'worlds'; Still use ween-doze, also use Ubuntu with a nice portion of LXDE to smooth things out nicely.
Found that a VM of eXPee runs better under VMWare Player than it ever did natively, and that is where I stand.
All that having been said - there are some Linux questions which I have posed every so often that still remain totally unanswered.
The big one of course is asking opinions as to which DE and/or distro is the most resembling of the old, classic, plain windows DE of win2k ??
Aside of that biggest one - I've always wanted to transplant a couple of nice animated cursors from wxx to Linux, and nobody has ever told me that it can be done, or how ??
There are a couple of other queries which remain - but as a thread started I'll stop here and see if anyone would like to educate me a bit upon these couple of things.
