I noticed a lot of people using Xp for seo tools like sense magic sub, ect. Is Xp better to use for seo tools? Any thoughts?

I use Windows Server 2003 with all of the pointless extras turned off.

No They are not. Microsoft now stopped supporting XP so some new tools even do not run on XP.

who told you that ?! Most of us use VPSs and the operation systems on that VPSs usually Win 2008/2003
btw MS stopped updating XP ...

Would u suggest sticking with windows 7 ,8 or another?

I use windows 7, and xp on my vm.

Windows 8 is a little bit too new and still probably has bugs with drivers and other system type things that bots need (maybe older .net framework, I heard only .net 4 ships with windows 8) so I would say win 7 is the safest bet to run all bots.

XP dont use much ram itself so when you have small vps XP is good option to go + many providers offer xp or win 7 on vps. Most of that os is cracked versions . Also as far as i remember Senuke developer recomended 4 gig ram for XP vps and 8 gig for windows 7 vps. XP is not better, it only eat less resoruces.

XP ? What a mess...

According to Microsoft they're still supporting XP until 08/04/2014. So you've got a while yet unless I've misunderstood their release?

I never thought there was anything wrong with win 98.

Windows xp is fine, and most software should support it. In fact, a lot of stuff may not support windows 8 because it's so new, even though microsoft says everything will work... cough cough bullsh!t....

I haven't messed with windows 8. I completely switched to a mac about a year ago, and I don't regret it. Unfortunately most software in this business will only function on a pc. I've been using vmware fusion with less issues than actually running a pc.
