Hi Dennis,
I can confirm that he is wrong. None of the problems he cites exist on my WinXP Pro (SP2+all patches to date) installation of 99SE.
If he is really having all those problems, he may be running WinXP home edition or he has some installation problem peculiar to his system.
99SE is very stable under WinXP Pro - at least it has been for me.
Regards - Harry

schematic. It give you the advantage to have better error handling when you update the PCB from the schematic editor, than using the importing net list feature. It also makes it possible for you to put in landmark (footprints) into the schematic.
But one thing to make clear is who is in charge of the net list, e.g. if you are making the net list the responsibility changes, there are no clear limit between you and the customer. My experience is that making the customer aware of the landmark problem he is force to take more aspects into account. Like a D-SUB25 has two extra holes for mounting are they connected? Or where is pin 1 on a square flat pack in the corner or in the middle on one side.
You can not hide your error on the finished PCB, so better to have your customer do them.
Another thing is editing a net list in notepad is not fun.
But P99SE is not the future, if you are going for Windows XP SP2 you will lose some thing in P99SE. Hole editor will disappear, moving designator automatically will disappear and adding to a selection is not possible. If you run remote desktop at the same time of P99SE it will fail.
