What OS do you use currently

I've heard many bad things about the system restore slowing everything down. Is it possible to use it manually? Sort of like taking a snapshot of your important files before you alter something? Does disabling this directly effect the "boot to last known good settings" (or whatever it's called) feature? I ask because I use a program called WinRescue98 for Win98 that backs up system files, including the registry, when I run it. I like being able to back things up to when I know they were working.
i believe you can run system restore manually and if you can't you can just turn it on whenever you need and it will image automatically then just shut it off after you run it for awhile. sorta difficult but oh well. yea and what is xandros? oh and win xp home is like ME evil evil version of Nt 5.1.
Gotta agree tha XP home is bad. It is the one version of XP I tried. Crashamatic!

I gave it a look and it seems interesting. I'm kind of surprised noone has mentioned Lindows, the linux/windows clone. The Atari OS looked interesting but i believe that Xerox gets the credit for inventing the first windows like graphic interface, along with the mouse. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

Windows 98 4.10.1998
works well. sometimes crappy, but usually the stuff I run causes it.

Yes, a man called Douglas Engelbart invented the windowed user interface, the mouse, hyperlinking, on-line help and lots of other things that are now inseparable parts of operating systems. Unfortunately for Engelbart, Xerox completely failed to commercially exploit what they had, leaving others to reimplement and reinvent many of the things he demonstrated in 1968.
Yes, Tape Operating System is possibly the computing world's most illconceived acronym.
Umm... TOS stood for Tramiel's Operating System, after Jack Tramiel, the main man at Atari who pulled the strings to make the ST/TT family of computers happen. And wouldn't you know it, he had formerly been with Commodore, who were now battling him with their Amigas.
On that note, Workbench isn't really the Amiga's OS - that's Kickstart, which actually sits in a 512KB ROM chip. Workbench is a disk-based collection of software that basically provides the entire GUI experience (although basic window functionality is part of Kickstart - the Amiga's core OS is completely graphical, no text or "DOS" mode). I always thought the whole system was amazingly flexible, well thought-out, efficient and FAST. My decade-old A500 still boots in 6 seconds flat to a full system.

Yep! As you see it plays them very well.
It is not very known, but Amiga is in buisness and they are now a company consisting of fans who want to create a good computer system.
The all new A1 was released just for some months ago, and more and more companys are porting programs and games to it.
