The first step is to NOT use Windows. ;D

Whilst I don't use windows as my desktop OS, Windows is a great OS for emulators > N64.
Windows XP nLited, is an extremely good Arcade Cab OS, easy to configure, supports everything from NES to PS2/Gamecube.
As much as I dislike Micro$oft and their OS, you can't deny XP is ok, and the million+ emulators makes XP the best arcade OS. Running as an Arcade cab, i've yet to experience XP crash or stutter (apart from EMU Errors).
Linux/Unix are probably the best OS's i've ever used. But to the mainstream, Microsoft is just so infected that that's what the majority want/develop for.
Sosetsuken, runs Fedora 11 X86_64, FreeBSD, MacOS 10.6 Snow Leopard and Microsoft Windows 7

Except that for low-end hardware such as the VIA C3, VIA C7 or intel Atom CPUs, a multitask and swapping OS isn't the best idea IMHO, hence my use of MS-DOS/FreeDOS and Flash-based storage for arcade emulation.
