Well,
My company just started to switch to W XP Pro, because in the past years a
wild bunch of Windows version were installed on all the machines. Win NT
mostly, but wich service pack????
I predict the same will happen to XP (the Pro version): service pack after
service pack to repair all the leaks and bugs.
I still think that it is not possible, yet, to produce any OS without
errors, Windows, Linux, MacOS or whatever.
But what yoy see in real life: companies only switch to a new OS when that
OS is proven to be stable running the applications needeed.
And the home users: just waiting for Longhorn....
I use XP Home and Pro, still having an old pc running W98 SE just for
testing stuff.
Longing for Longhorn... not me, yet.
