What O.S?
-
Currently I develop on a Windows 2000 machine and have a Windows XP machine to test programs on. Well in the last several months I have had to reformat the 2000 machine more than 5 times. I have never had problems with 2000 until lately, it has always been rock-solid… it may be due to the fact that machines used to program and test get messed up more often than a machine used otherwise…. Who-knows. Anyway, I am at the point where the 2000 machine needs to be reformatted (again)… and I am thinking of installing XP on it. I would still have a 2000 machine for testing, but the XP machine would be the what I use to actually code. The things I like about XP, is after you tone it down and everything… it is really nice…. Fast boots, eye candy, seems to be over-all faster, etc. So, my question(s) to everyone is: 1) What O.S. do you use to develop on… meaning the actual coding. 2) I have good experience in XP, but is there anything different between coding on a 2000 machine and XP machine… I would think not too much since 2000 is the core of XP. Anyway, those are my mid-day thoughts/questions. Cheers! ------ I am the sole owner of all comments/statements made by myself, and they do not represent those of my company in any way. Furthermore, it’s a shame it has come to the point where we have to make statements like this. Cheers! ====================== Matthew R. Miller www.computersmarts.net[^]

XP Professional. Test machine runs on the same thing. Use Windows Virutal PC to simulate other OS's since I can't afford VMWare.

XP. If you're developing an app with any significant UI to run on it, you really can't develop under a prior system - if you do you risk your app looking dated by comparison with newer ones which are themed.

I've used XP for development the last 12 months, previously it was 2K but like you it failed a lot. These days for me the only time problems emerge are on NT/2000/XP is if its NT4 pre SP4:( John Hudson Megan Forbes on Life's little accidents: Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night:~ :omg: http://www.rainbow-innov.co.uk[^]

- Win2K or XP Pro. No problems on Win2K, although I prefer the XP (faster machine). Virtual PC for automated testing and continuous builds, running XP Pro on Win2K3. 2) XP sp2 may throw some spanners in the works, but none that I've noticed so far.

I use Windows XP, and so does my colleagues except for one. The software I'm developing is targeted for Windows XP and Windows 2000. This means that I'm often bugging the lucky colleague who has Windows 2000 installed, to test whatever I've concocted. :) -- Arigato gozaimashita!
