I have cs and it works fine in xp and 7. Even I could say in 7 works better.
Postscript: I know what lag is

No, he is not right. The fact that Windows XP 64 bit was sold in stores doesn't make it officially supported forever.
http://news.softpedia.com/news/64-Bit-Windows-XP-Service-Pack-3-73982.shtml
The fact that it didn't have continued support doesn't mean it wasn't an official operating system released by Microsoft and commercially made available. Your tonality is making it sound like it was assembled by some rag-tag team of developers and released without Microsoft's knowledge through street corners and download hubs.
Personal outlooks (whether you think it's good or bad) upon the system was not a subject I brought up specifically. I was simply speaking from a historic context.
If you knew anything about xp 64's background you'd also know that it is technically not even xp, since it's using 2003 server's kernel and codebase just rebundled as a desktop system further adding to the experimental state
It also doesn't have support for 16 bit windows programs or is able to load DOS programs, cause they NEVER got that far.
I've not claimed to have any kind of extensive knowledge about the inner-workings of the operating system's design -- merely reflections on experiences myself and those close to me have had.
I apologize if they do not match pre-conceived notions of the masses, review sites, or even official press releases, but that doesn't change the fact that I am repeating back local instances that actually occurred around me.
That's totally missing the point. It's not about drivers shipping with XP, it#s about companies not creating 64 bit drivers for Windows XP. Good luck getting your network card working when there's no driver available (and no using a vista driver doesn't work).
I never made any claim that getting any general piece of hardware using the operating system on a custom-built machine was easy (or even plausible), but I can assure that laptops and desktop systems alike that shipped with Windows XP 64-bit always had driver support for their hardware.
But yeah Zeth, he's of course right, except that everything he ever said was wrong.
That's going a bit far. I think you may be taking this a little too personally. I never proclaimed that my comments were guaranteed to be immutably factual without discourse. Again, I was only trying to repeat back my own experiences as well as shared experiences of those within proximity.

XP is more laggy I think and have more Blue Death, the only good thing in XP is XP formatting Pen/Flash Drive way faster, that's all.

Windows 7 owns all!
If you're using windows xp, vist, You rule!.
You're losting the opportunity of use the most awesome software of Microsoft. Windows 7** is better than XP and vista*.
*I not mentioned that vista is laggy.
**Well, you need 1 GB or more to run windows 7.
It's a little prize for have the best software.

OSX 10.6.4 (Don't tell me you didn't see THAT coming)
(Just to clarify this is all about personal experience on my part but also shared by other people I know:)
Windows has 5-10 different software choices (from basic to MEGA EXTREME BUSINESS) If you want ALL the options it will cost you 300+ dollars.
OSX has one (1) complete package with ALL the options for about 30 dollars max.
Just as fast and efficient as windows XP. Doesn't slow down your computer after a long time. The OS has never crashed on me yet (the apps crash occasionally though, but this doesn't effect the OS).
It's very user friendly. And in this day and age, it does support NTFS, loads of applications, apps to run windows only programs and much more.
It can run OSX games and a handful of windows only games. But it isn't a game friendly OS. I'll give you that. That isn't the fault of the OS but that's all to blame on developers.
Personally I never use windows any more and don't miss anything. I have a PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 for gaming that REALLY save me some frustration. Because gaming on a windows computer never really worked smoothly for me at least.

Super Snake, pointless argue finalized.
Glad you found something that makes your life easier.
For a few weeks now, I turned solely using Ubuntu (was having both Windows XP and Ubuntu back then), but not anymore.
Totally worths a try, and definitively solved many problems that I had with Windows (mostly XP).
As you were discussing it priorly, applications shouldn't form the operating system choices. Even in mobile level, Windows kernel based Windows Mobile's lost the mobile war. The iPhone OS (based on OS X base) and the Android (based on the Linux kernel) are clearly taking over as we speak.
So will it be with the desktop war too. sooner or later, when the market share for both of them will rise.
