WinXP
-
In a test machine, I've tried to upgrade an already running Win2K to WinXP and I've discovered that the new version doesn't support the some hardware... :omg: :omg: The report System Compatibility ha reported : 1) 3Com BCAITDI DMI TDI 2) Logitech Mouseware Drivers 3) Microsoft NETBEUI Protocol Driver and more and more. Bloody hell, the mouse driver as well, not the micky mouse but the Logitech... I was told that the new OS supports more hardware (the most) :omg: :omg: :omg:
I've just installed XP this week and overall I'm very impressed so far. I had the complaint about Logitech drivers and some other stuff. In the end I did a clean install to a new partition and everything worked fine. Easiest Windows install since 3.0. XP doesn't support Netbios from what I understand. I did have a complete crash in the VC++ Debugger today and I wasn't doing anything out of the ordinary. I couldn't get Task Manager to do anything usefull and had to hit the Reset button. Never had this happen in W2K, so it is a bit of a worry. I've noticed a few other small strange problems as well. But I have to say that I just luv XP.:) Neville Franks, Author of ED for Windows.

Nish is a BIG fan of Goran IvanisevicStill annoying... :-D Why not just leave it at normal size? It is like pop-under adverts. Whether you pop the advert ontop or under it does not matter, people will either click it or not. Same with your signature, if you make it big it won't help, people will either read it or not. Right now it just is more annoying. my 2 cents regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa Do you Sonork?

I have been running XP since RC 1, and it just works great. - Anders Ah, found one! now nine left.... I read somewhere that there are 10 lucky people on earth who actually got XP to work :-) So Anders where are your 9 buddies? Nish Sonork ID 100.9786 voidmain

XP does support NetBios. If it didn't it you could not see any other computers on the network. ;-) It's NETBEUI, which is a protocol like TCP/IP, that it doesn't support. - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"

Actually, count me in as another one who's running XP and likes it. I would choose it over W2K any day. As far as drivers go, make sure you have the latest ones. I know logitech has new ones up, I'm running with a logitech wireless and have absolutely no problems. As far as netbeui goes, I personally don't think that is such a big loss. I use TCP/IP drivers for everything anyways. Netbeui just caused me more problems in the end. Extra packets on my wire, not routable, etc.... Good luck, Nick.

Use it... Like it? Well, it is ok. Some things I like, some things I don't. But since I use my computers for work/play and not as a life long partner, I really couldn't give a rat's ass about some of the things I don't care about. It works, it gets the job done.

Totally with you on this Anders. Installed (fresh clean install) XP the other day and so far so good. Nothing major but all the little interface improvements really do add up and make life easier. No hardware issues either :) regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa Do you Sonork?

Paul. I don't want to disturb you, but since XP is an operating system (sistema operativo) and a system, in Spanish is a masculine noun, you should say EL XP. :-O By the way, it's good to see some other language in this "most Aussie" lounge. :cool:

Wow - both Windows XP and Me. These have to be the more questionable upgrades since WFW. I would recommend checking out Infoworld - across the board, in every test, Windows XP was either slightly (10 to 20%) or very much (almost 3 times) slower than Windows 2K.

Your mouse should work, it just doesn't support any of the nonstandard mouse functions. NetBEUI support has been dropped in favor of TCP/IP.
