<< Bah...quad boot 2k-pro, 2k-server, XP, and ME...hehe 😀 >>



woah! And i though i was doing well in *reading* how do do a dual boot!
 
WinXP RC1 install was too easy. Every single device was recognized (including 6 year old laser printer, scanner, NIC, burner, etc.) I've both Win2K Pro and WinXP on my box and WinXP loads much faster even though it's sitting on a slower slave HD.

Got XP on my sandbox laptop at work. If you have a laptop and a docking station, you MUST get the XP. Anyone with a laptop knows how pathetic dock/undock feature was on Win2k. With XP, I can undock, take it home and work on a document offline, re-dock back at work and WinXP will sync back up to the network. No reboot required to get on the intranet like Win2k.

There are still several apps that I can't run on XP yet including EasyCD and Webwasher.

who, what was that, I didnt catch it... j/k Frank!

I have a tripleboot 98se/2k/mandrake 8
no problems, I'm thinking I'll just stick like I am for a long time to come.

I dont know about the whole registration thing though, from what it sounds like I will be VERY reluctant to get XP just because I dont feel like dealing with yet another pain in the ass...
