I must say, I'm easy when it comes to operating systems.
I was lucky enough to get into the Windows Vista, and subsequently, Windows 7, Beta testing. I therefore had the advantage of not having to dig to deep into my pocket to examine the OS’s.
Although my preference is Windows in all...

I am using a old motherboard which doesnt have a native SATA driver on the chipset (I think).
When I installed WinXP on this computer I had to either use the press F2 (or was it F7) or something when installation, and have the driver on a floppy driver. Thats why I have a old 20 GB PATA disk...
