RE: [Digital BW] Win2k or XP?

2003-10-06 by Tom Baker

I agree.  Also, XP seems to be the prefered platform for software developers developing the types of software those of us on the forum are interested in.  Probably a better long term investment. I run XP PRO for Photoshop, and 2000 on my 'real' job computer. Even the corporate machine (which there are thousands in the company I work for) are being moved to XP PRO.

If I was setting up a workstation it would be XP Pro.

Subject: [Digital BW] Win2k or XP?


I'm not really interested in a debate of Mac vs. PC.  Hadn't seen a
thread start regarding this either.

A few concise comments about Win2k vs. XP would be greatly appreciated.
Obviously the source of the question would stem from the upgrade
requirements for PS CW (8) from a Win98 machine.  In looking at some
reviews it seems the XP takes up quite a bit of memory and don't read
much about the Win2k.

Was thinking of reformatting the hard drive anyway and thought it would
be best to install new system if I'm going to do all that.

Thanks,
Cleavis
