XP Pro siguro. bigat sa bulsa lang.
mahirap i-justify if you know there's linux to weigh with.

bilis nga. atsaka mukhang wala nang race conditions. dati, yung win9x
may 10% chance na mag-bsod on startup kapag nag-load na yung mga
drivers at startup apps. siguro, pag di maganda yung gising?

XP kernel and drivers are now in a segment having a higher privilege
level (priv 0 usually) than the application segments (usually priv 3). so
an application cant possibly crash the system unless it makes
a system call that has bugs. sa win9x, walang ganyang
privilege-based protection kaya kahit ang paintbrush kayang mag-crash ng
system.
hibernate is good mostly for laptop systems. not for multimedia/gaming
rigs, program development and server systems. di talaga in demand diba?

marami pang kulang: full command-line equivalent for administrative tasks
like device configuration, network config (for the built-in routing,
firewall, nat), process control (not just services). no gui can give it
all to you. only command line switches and scripting can. free
built-in posix-compliant compiler/tools (after all it's competing with unix
right?). last, it should be easy to interchange general PC parts without
trigerring a hard OS reinstall. XP will refuse to boot say if your
motherboard chipset changes from VIA to Intel (even if the rest stays
the same!) kaya nga na imbento ang drivers eh! bakit bumalik sa jurassic
age?
i thought pinag-bawalan na ang microsoft maglabas ng Easter Eggs sa
products nila? so i bet, hoax lang yong One OS to Rule.
