Are you using Windows XP drivers or W2K drivers? I'm going to be putting it on my compaq laptop and it's difficult enough to get drivers for W2K to work. cheers, Chris Maunder
Well, the only drivers that weren't installed during the installation we my video drivers and I used Nvidia's XP/2K detonator drivers for it.

Windows 2000 does exactly what it says on the tin, which like certain brands of creosote[^] means it does exactly what it says on the tin. Windows XP Professional does what it says it does great, but like those cheaper store-brand exterior wood treatments it falls short in some of the areas you'd expect it to work on, despite being in a pretty coloured tin and the "20% extra free" label. The former is my fav to date, but each new version brings out new ideas and ways to make problems easier, so I don't expect it to last forever. Windows XP comes in a very close second, and if I didn't need to use the server side of Windows every day I would run XP all the time. As to other operating systems... I wouldn't know, I've only ever played with a tiny handful of them.

Dang. I remember loading that once. But I can't really answer your question, except to say that I thought the graphical presentation was ugly. :-D Marc Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.

When I was 18 or so my best friend had a job writing some sort of accounting software on a CP/M machine. It used 8" floppies for program and data storage.

Anyone been this in a desktop environment? I'm doing a fresh install of everything this week and am tempted to give it a burl. My only issue is I'm guessing driver support may be a little sporadic. cheers, Chris Maunder
Yup. It's been running on my secondary partition for about two weeks now on my laptop with VMWare to get in. And it's been on a server at work that I use regularly since RC1 came out. I love it...I'm going to ditch XP when it goes RTM.:-D [edit]And Chris, I have a Compaq Evo N610c that hasn't had any problems with WS 2003 or XP drivers.[/edit]
