Best OS for Gamers!

And it seems that Longhorn won't be compatible with anything. I mean, you gotta love M$.

I'm using Win2kPro myself. Runs all the games I want to play (recently: Master of Orion 2 and 3, GalCiv, MOHAA, Max Payne, Delta Force 2, Arx Fatalis, BF1942, Kohan, Warcraft 3) just fine. The exceptions being UFO: Enemy Unknown and Halflife. Going to build an old school box for those though

I'm 95% sure it will run Halflife/CS with SP3 though.

I'd heartily recommend win2kpro for the majority of gamers.

It is between Windows 2000 and XP. It just depends on which works better on your system. All you can really do is try both and decide which performs better. XP is faster on a lot of machines but then a lot of those machines run into compatibilty problems that they don't experience with Windows 2000. Just something you kinda have to figure out for yourself. Always depends on the specific computer and user.

This the kind of thing that just all boils down to opinions. No one person is going to be right about this sort of question no matter how much they think they are right. So I suggest trying out multiple operating systems -- Windows 2000 and XP would be your best two options.
