One thing I noticed, M$ will not allow you to do redundancy raid (1, 5, 0+1)
in Windows Professsional. It will fail the install. You can only seem to
use Raid 0 (even hardware raid contorllers) some how it figures this out and
forces you to use server. Sucks if you ask me.

I have not seen XP myself but a co-worker likes it. He was running 2000,
which is what I run. What issues did you have installing W2K? It was pretty
straight forward. The only issue I had was my motherboard is a RAID board
and I had to use the drivers supplied. I keep going
past the section where they were prompting me to switch to the a: drive
without noticing a couple of times before I noticed.
You can also upgrade 98 with 2000. I did a couple of machines at the office
with no issues whatsoever. Just make sure you got drivers for 2000 before
hand since you computer is new.
I don't know what other people will say but so far its been very stable for
me, both at work and home.

well screw that!! They can keep XP, I am staying away from it now!! You
know, I just built myself a sweet monstosity of a machine at home. I
installed Windows 98 because I have it and it was easier than figuring out
how to install win2k. Now I am so frustrated with the instability of it
that I am almost depressed. Oh what to do.....

Has anyone heard of all the troubles that the new version of Microsoft is
having getting released ??
One of the ugliest things I see is their new licensing scheme. They make
sure you are using it only on a specific machine by having its functionality
based on hardware items on your system. This configuration has to be
registered either by phone or by internet about a month after it is
installed or everything stops working. If you change something big, like a
Network Card or cpu chip, your system will not boot because it thinks you
have installed it on a different machine.
Anyone have options on the new XP ?
