XP Retraction
-
Okay I am sticking with XP rather than going back to W2K - here's why: * Fast user switching is handy at home * Start up/shutdown is fast * Improved Scripting of the OS * Keep the Same OS as I will use at work. I retract my XP comments! Davy www.latedecember.com

News From Angus, Scotland - The Angus BlogThe first time you use Remote Desktop (aka Terminal Services) you'll be astonished by its speed. Sometimes I use my XP office machine over a VPN over a 256Kb ADSL. Most of time, I forget I'm using a remote machine. Transmitting GDI commands is really much faster than transmitting JPEGS or GIFs of changed screen areas. For me, RDP this is THE reason to upgrade to Windows XP. I see dumb people

News From Angus, Scotland - The Angus BlogI'm still waiting to move. Played with it on a couple of test machines. Not even had a look at the .Net Server editions I got through on my MSDN subscription yet. Win 2K is still doing a good job. I would find the fast switching helpfull. Probablly in the next few months..... ;)

Jimmy Buffet, He Went to Paris. We all should retire to the Florida keys and enjoy boat drinks and wear pencil-thin mustaches.

[quote]That's because on startup they moved the boot screen up a few spots.[/quote] Not true... yes theym oved it but try this on Win2K: I have built XP machines that cold boot in 21 SECONDS, and restore from hibernation in about the same time (build on nForce chipsets with later BIOS revs and APIC enabled)
