OT, which windows?

2002-04-15 by Jim Panzer

Could anyone give me some reason why or why not to go with XP instead of
windows 2000?  I am using XP now and I have a hard tme making things work
for it (mostly driver issues), but I am getting a new box and would like to
just use win 2000 if there are not any major draw backs for digital
printing.  I use 2000 all day at work and I like it a lot better then XP
even though XP is supposed to be built on the same kernal...who knows.  I'll
be using a nikon scanner, and epson printers with photoshop 6 or 7.  OT
resposes welcome, any information would be great, thanks.

Jim,
 For what its worth I have use Win2000 (Pro) on my system and have yet to
have a reason to change to XP. The reason I responded to your inquiry is
because I have similar hardware/software and have yet not been able to run
any of it. I have the Nikon LS-40000, Epson 1280, 2000P and 785EPX and all
have run great. I also have an HP scanner, which runs well and countless
Fire wire  & USB connections. I also network the computer, via wireless USB
card and the networking allows me to share photo files as well as a cable
modem hook up. All in all Im satisfied with the work and stability of the
system.  In fact, Im in the process of building another system with dual
processors in a RAID 5 configuration using Winn2000 Pro. I must add though,
that I have never tried XP, but have done the WIN 95,98, ME clean installs
and Win 2000 is light years more stable than those, at least in my system
photo configuration.

Thank you very much for responding Frank, I am sure I will also be using
2000 too.  Based on yours, and other opinions.  Now I just have to build a
new box.  Thanks again and take care.
