Re: What Operating system do you use

Windows XP Pro also contains the ability to use dual proccessors. It also alows you to conect to it via remote desktop.

Aye, tis true, dat. Thanks for the reminder

I use win 98SE.... for the moment... I do intend to upgrade..... would you say that XP is the best choice? it seems to be highly popular in the polls..
I intend to use the PC as a sort of home media centre, Music, Films, Web Browsing... Ect.. so i would have thought that the OS for me would be the XP home media edition... although i do belive you can only get this with a new (select) PC.. Apart from in the US

 

[floppybootstomp]

XP, imo, is a definite improvement over Win 98, though I still say Win 98, if you know how to look after it, is a fine operating system.

As for the Media edition, I have no idea. I've heard of it, but I believe that it's just XP with added 'MS aproved' programs, many of which (or similar) can be downloaded for free if you search around (and I mean legitimately downloaded, before anybody starts )

Windows XP home edition should do you just fine!!

SP1a = SP1 second edition

 

[KGB-911]

[ChristopherP]
