I gave it a serious try for about 1 month. 3 games -- 1 dos > and 2 win9x -- wouldn't run properly on it (all close, but no cigar). If your primary concern for an operating system is based on if it runs old games - XP probably isn't for you. If you are tired of the reboot of the hour - and want to be able to run for weeks or months on end without rebooting or losing data, XP runs circles around any Win 9x based kernel.

There are several working versions of the GCC compiler collection and many of the support tools on Simtel, and they have been there for over a month when you wrote this message. (There was a reply in the thread 2 weeks before which pointed that out). Please try to check facts first.
