Terminator uses XP with USAF and he's happy with it. Here is the post he put in our messageboard in regards to this very problem:
"My system is running WinXP Home, so I don't know if this will work or not. The first place I tried was Microsoft's XP home website and downloaded all the available updates, I don't know which ones by name. It was very automated, much like the Windows update in Win98SE. Just had it install everything, I figured since I had a 40 GB HD, I had room to spare. I next went to the website for the graphics card I put in (Elsa Gladiac MX 32MB), and downloaded and installed the latest WinXP home drivers. I did this for all the major system components (sound card, joystick, mouse, etc.). There is a lot of good message board posts on the different websites (SimHQ, Mad Onion, etc.). After this was all done, I had no problems running USAF. I know from reading a lot of message board posts, that I was lucky. Most people are having major problems, and can't get it to work at all. Hopefully this is helpful." - Terminator
