Kicks said:I've found XP much more stable and not quite as annoying as 2k. I work with and support mainly XP pc's and some 2000 (in fact a few NT4 and Win98 ones aswell ) and XP is by far the easiest to work with in a networked environment.
On topic, I agree in principle wait a while and let the bugs get sorted and more drivers available .

When XP has a reliable service pack that has at least a 12 month track record you will start to see big buisness migrate and not before.

Mojo said:Businesses tend to upgrade every other new release, those that went to 2k from NT/9X skipped XP and will probabaly roll out longhorn. This isnt just the finance sectors but pretty much every company that went to 2k from NT/9X. Those that skipped 2k and went straight in with xp will prolly skip longhorn and so on, im not sure has anything to do with with anything other than the cost invloved in upgrading everytime MS pushes out a new product.
I have however seen many companies upgrade from 2000 server to 2003 server.
2k being good doesn't = xp being crap, i rate them both very highly but would always choose xp as an upgrade path from anything other than 2k. I just dont feel that xp adds enough to 2k to warrant the cost, but ultimatly feel it's a better OS.
cHodAX said:Thanks Joor, those are actually pretty decent scores for a platform that has just shipped and doesn't have a mature driver set. It will be interesting to see how Nvidia and ATI's driver development for 64 bit O/S matures over the next 6 months.
Jaison X said:Im getting a new PC in the next weeks, the 64bits thing sounds rly interesting, i dont know a lot about computers, as i've been reading here, win xp64 is just a O/S.
It is supose that to drain the max perfomance of the O/S , i need to have some specific hardware, right?
I've though in buy a 3ghz amd, (i know, there are better ones, but here in spain, the price is high and 3ghz should work well enough)
Could anyone give me any advice about a hardware that fix well with win xp64? It would be nice
Thanks ! !
