I tried compatablity and they don't work or say "Not Enought Memory" And I know I have enough memory!

ninety-eeeight.... (yes, the box thingy)

I refuse to spend my money on anything new until MustDie actually makes a better OS

Oto: then you must have a lot of saved money, then. And you're going to keep saving it, too, most likely.

err... but I still haven't bought all the pre-98 anime and games I wanted

So I'm flat-broke as ever.

Another circumstance that might eventually force me to upgrade is once new software/hardware stops being compatible with said OS.

I'm surprised you haven't reached that point yet. I can't even run Win98 on my current primary system. Not unless I wanna lose out on hyperthreading, NTFS file system, file sizes that span in the gigabyte range and even being able to just see my 250GB HDs.

Oh, I realize there are benefits now, but they're pretty optional. And actually, I've never had trouble with multi-gigabyte files; I've no intention of upgrading to a hyper-threading processor, or any processor in at least the next year and a half; and I'd be lucky to get my hands on even a 120-GB HD anytime soon.

I also heard Premiere Pro requires XP - or does it? I may be wrong.

Anyway, presently, I'm pretty happy so far. I couldn't afford any of those ultra-fancy things, nor do I need them.

In a couple of years, maybe.

You may be right, but in anycase it lacks alot of the stability featires Pro has, such as the ability to end a process from the task manager should it stop responding, without having to reboot the entire system.
Sorry about the double post but Are you sure you were looking @ windows 2000. It allows you to end the program and the processes from task manager.
Um yeah, I was about to say the same thing... I'm running XP Home, and the Task Manager can be a lifesaver sometimes.

lol this is late, but i'm on vacation ;p No its home edition, but home doesn;t have the Processes list like Pro does. thats what I ment. It does have the standard Task manager, but that doesn't always end the task (especially with Premiere) when it realy crashes badly. Alot of times I have to actually end the process (where it doesn't try to shut it down cleanly, just kills it.)
