When XP came out I remember many people vehemently staying on Windows 2000 since Windows XP just added a bunch of "fisher price bloat". It wasn't until some service pack (SP2?) that people upgraded.
- YEwSdObPQT 5y agoPeople used to say a lot of nonsense back then. The thing that slowed down XP a lot was ClearType (which was off by default) and the animations. If enabled Windows Classic theme (I forget what it was called) it was as fast as Windows 2000 and looked exactly the same. The other problems that people frequently had was that a lot of software used Win 95/98 only hacks which wouldn't run on XP (or anything NT based).
