I picked win2k3.
Time is money.
And I hate wasting my time with probs in windows.
Win7, if it marked the partition as dirty, the partition is usually fine.
But it will not let me get write access until I've ran checkdisk on it.
Which is bs because win2k3 doesn't need to do that, I can del the startup ver of it and never worry about it until I feal like it.
Example situation.
I overclock, boot windows, run everest bench to get my mem orginized my windows to stop messing around.
I run a test, it uses a file it "reads" from the disk (that's all it has to do, if it was writing then running checkdisk would be a good idea eventually).
Then it crashes while the filehandle was open.
Lets see, I run a test while I'm watching a movie, that's what I do, play a game and watch a movie at the same time to test my system is another way I doit.
If I bsod, windows 7 marks my used partitions dirty.
I can still read the files, but if I goto use it after testing, I have to check the stupid thing 1st.
Which takes a min on a 500gig partition.
My win2k3, I don't have to do that unless I actually damaged a filesystem which I usually don't, that's why I ran the everest benchmark duh...
I use win7 x86, and win2k3 x86 (I liked x64's datacenter for the most part, but I didn't like the emu bs).
I didn't like the 1st ver of win2k8(datacenter sp1 was complete crap), and I don't care about it's sp2 because it's x86 is in russian only.
In the begining for me win7 was a nightmare for my programming and security issues galore.
Now it isn't so bad, it's getting better the more I work with it.
I use it over win2k3 because of the gui, except for the lame start menu...
And the prob with changing my colors and text's, taskbar double size sucks... etc.
The only thing I use win2k3 for anymore is for testing it's ver of active desktop(gadgets) and for it's clsid's, stuff like that.
Getting it merged, config wise with win7.
The only major regret I have in win7 at the moment is the missing int21 vectors.
It's no longer fun to play with it's console in that respect.
Makes programming, diffrent, missing stuff.
I can't test code in windows before I move on to other env's anymore.
At least some code.
There is ways to call win32 api's from the console though so I guess eventually it won't matter to me.
Still sucks though.
I hate windows...
And I hate linux much more... :\
I liked dos lol...
Don't get me wrong I like gui's, but I don't like windows or linux or especially... mac os(made for retards or something).
No offence to anyone.
Nothing is better then windows until something better does actual come around...
Stuck with winblows.
I can only imagine what the bs the retail customers have to go through with activation and entering keys and all that.
