Windows XP 2

[AnonGod]

I posted this in another forum, but for the ones that do not already know, Windows Codename "Whistler" has been given an official name today.
Goodie, goodie. Another platform to support....

Hello !

Windows XP -- Enhancing the Windows Experience.
Well if they want to impress me they have to make a stabile operatingsystem with a nice desktop. Hey that OS already exists, it's called UNIX.

It's quite exciting. Somebody pinch me if I'm dreaming. Is it true that I will be able to write data on one computer and it will be readable on another computer?

Technology is fascinating. What will they think of next?

I think it is going where none has tread before.Well under such circumstances it sometimes gives a big jolt.So what!!Only those who ride the horses sometimes tumble but those who slog on foot never fall off the horse.

Windows XP - is this fast and stable?

I use NT 4. Magic (my development tool) works good and fast. I'm satisfied. Don't need more.

At home I use OpenDOS, run vi, awk, lynx, some simple game. Enough. Don't need more.

Windows 2000 is only just about being accepted now, so why would M$ think people are going to take the leap the new OS, when most folk are just getting ready for Win2K. Don't buy it, don't line their pockets even more - at least wait for Windows 2002/2003...

I thought XP, is similiar to AS/400 file structure, the only difference not a 64bit processor compatible. And if your asking whether XP is stable, then I would definately say AS/400 is.

You're right, 2000 is just starting to be widely accepted and implemented (we are migrating 4th quarter this year), and from what I've seen of XP, there is no reason to upgrade.
2000 looks to be an OS that will be around for quite some time. NT4 survived 4+ years of serious use and 3 incarnations of Windows 9x before the business side of Windows got a face lift to 2000. My bet is 2000 lasts at least that long.

Anything I can forsee using for a client OS is available in 2000 - XP will just be for those of us who HAVE to say up to date with the latest and, supposed, greatest from microsoft.

I'm not saying that Windows isn't broken - It's just working for him so why change it? I'm not a big believer in change for the sake of change, If the new OS doesn't feature anything that you need or find attractive whay change?

To Danne, I also like UNIX, but WHAT UNIX? Maybe Linux???

I tend to agree here. Win 2000 is just picking up speed, why drop it so quickly?

I am using Win2k as a home machine and it works wonderfuly. i also feel that M$ is going to have a dificult time gettin XP to be accepted. don't get me wrong, it will be eventually intirgated into society, but i feel it will take a little longer that M$ expects. M$ marketing SHOULD see this and postpone the release, but will they ever see the light? I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every moment of it.
