As we were talking about it the other day, I just thought I'd let you know I installed XP Pro 64Bit this evening on a seperate HD for evaluation and this sucker flies !!
I installed it on a spare HD I had knocking around, as, being a "Preview" version, no-one would be stupid enough to evaluate it without taking precautions.
Having been on the original XP beta testing program, I know how unstable these can be, but I have to report that the whole thing is stable so far and really flies The 64 Bit processor really does make a difference.
Ah, Red Hat, the "free" Linux that no longer is free, unless of course you have Fedora which is a permanent "preview" edition, tested by the masses for the benefit of the paying customer
Although I have to admit, I have lapsed on my Linux usage of late. Now I have got the new PC, I might use the remains of the old one to build a Linux server
