Since your not on a network I'd say xp home. Its the best os microsoft have at the mo and with the high specs there won't be any incompatability.

XP pro of course... the next best thing is linux...

Suppose you could use pro then. Other than the colour do you accually know the difference though?

I do, PRO is for more administrative things, HOME is more user friendly and it sets up A LOT of things for you.

You know that if bill was unable to give money away... he would not be able of spending all his money in his lifetime..

You know when i heard that, it remined me of the "cadbury drumstick royal" ad

You know, "Finding new ways to spend ones money money can be frightfully tiresome..."
And btw, charity's the right word

Windows has bugs in because Microsoft put them there, and then they sell new versions to make more money.

If you werent going to play anything i'd say linux, but since you are use either xp pro or win2k... never ever get that home edition since its just a stripped down piece of s***.
And well, win9x is just outdated nowdays.

I'm on Win2k at moment, I suppose WinXP Pro would be my other option, but I don't wanna buy it.

I play quake3, warcraft 3, unreal tournament 2k3, TTD, and a few other games in linux... Better than XP sometimes, especially if its written for linux.
