I tend to have to anticipate any possible use of PCs by a client, but in my purchase of XP Pro had initially understood that there are less features in home regarding networking, and had gotten spolt with this under Windows 2000 Pro. I hadn't heard about the Novell support and was relieved to find it when I had a client's server box here for some setup. Win 2000's still quite a fine OS but not as stable while capturing or recording large files (>200MB). Conversely I haven't had one crash while manipulating or recording the same material under XP. Also I like having a free Backup utility, amongst other things. Krispin's reference is a good one to start from. But my needs have to do with anticipation of as much as possible. Thus, "Top End of Current OS" usually applies. I'm slavering to get Vista, which I hear is elegant without being too clunky and chunky. OT, but this inability to either draw (pen broken) or play (middle finger, I'm going to get a copy of the x-ray, very rock n roll), the new system accepts input from my MD player, and so I'll get some work done on remastering the somewhat noisy recording of a live performance on Good Friday 2001, at a thing called "Critical Mass".
