Ok i currently have a partitioned harddrice (500gb= 2x250gb)
XP & Windows 7

Now i want more hardrive space, but i don't want to keep games on my external os which OS should i go with?
XP OR 7?
I would like at least 1 reason as to why i would not like a simple WINDOWS 7 or WINDOWS XP.
 
I was just trying to get some help  :sad:... lol but seriously, at the moment i'm using 7, going to format XP later and change teh partitions.
 
Unless you know you have programs you can't run in Windows 7 for compatibility reasons (which should be few and far between), then you have absolutely no reason to dual-boot 7 and XP. Windows 7 is superior to XP in every way.
 
Still, why would anyone want to use XP right now? There aren't that many programs and games that can't be run in 7 (even the older ones, with minimal compatibility tinkering) these days, and it's far prettier.
 
Well i transferred my files over and I'm gonna format XP before i go to bed, i already changed the windows logon screen and downloading some cool stuff. Win 7 FTW!

ITS SO SHINY!
 
Meh, windows classic theme looks the same on both (except for that pesky shortcut to desktop next to the clock on w7).  :razz:

Yeah. It's just a shame that the windows classic theme is roughly the same size but uglier.
Win7 default theme is bigger, uglier and has much less contrast making it a ****ing pain on the eyes (without having too much contrast and resulting again, pain the oculars). White text on light blue-white gradient ****, no thanks. Classic theme is also easier on the hardware. Simply superior.

also prefers windows classic look.

the windows 7 shininess is insulting to my intelligence.

it's all:

"Oooh look how shiny i am doesnt that make me inherently better than any previous versions even though this extra shininess only serves to slow me down, but dont worry about that because im so SHINY!"
