Dirty win7 peasants vs. glorious WinXP x64 Edition master race

[Katie Boundary]

Windows XP x64 Edition combines all the great things about pre-Vista versions of Windows (like superior performance, the ability to use the win9X-style start menu and folders, the ability to run certain programs that honestly aren't that old, etc.) with the one advantage of Vista/7/8 (the ability to address more than 3.75 GB of RAM).

I have a copy and it has been working BEAUTIFULLY. It truly is the best of both worlds... with two exceptions. One is drivers. If you can find 64-bit XP drivers for your hardware, I want to know what religion you are because obviously the gods favor you. The second is the PC port of Halo 2, which requires Vista or newer because Bill Gates is a dick.

You may all high-five and worship me now.

It's the best of both worlds barring software compatibility issues and the speed benefits being nonexistent on a SSD.
Oh, and since when did Win7 x64 stop existing? Last I checked it could allocate more than 3.75 GB of RAM.

oh and one last thing (https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/63152810/are_you_even_trying.jpg)

Wow dude, you have no reading comprehension at all. I wrote one thing,and you somehow read it as literally the exact opposite thing.

software compatibility issues

Aside from drivers, XP x64 has fewer compatibility issues than its successors OR its predecessors.

speed benefits being nonexistent on a SSD

Not everyone wants to pay hundreds of dollars just to shave a few seconds off of boot-up times.

There's more to it than just boot times, with SSD's.
But you know that already.

Yeah well something something hamsters, something something elderberries. Now go away or I shall taunt you a second time.

Since this is the epitome of a go-nowhere thread, troll-bait at worst, I'm closing it.
