RE: OT W2k or XP pro for a laptop

["Timothy Morris" <timothy.morris@xxxxxxx>]

What Phil said, plus it has some really clever features.

I couldn't live without remote desktop (Terminal Services), plus I've
used Remote Assistance on a few occaisions.

The really cool feature though is when you want to upgrade your PC. I
did it last week - new mainboard with a different chipset, and an Athlon
rather than a PIII. You simply do an ASR backup of the system drive to a
spare HD, boot from the XP CD, select ASR - put the ASR floppy in the
drive. It does a mini setup of XP (10 minutes just to recognise all the
hardware), then automatically restores all your programs, documents,
settings, service packs etc.

A lot of the improvements to XP are way below the surface.....

Subject: [ukha_d] OT W2k or XP pro for a laptop

As you may know some bas$=A3*d stole my ipaq, laptop and other toys a few
months ago, ipaqs are now replaced and its time to replace the laptop,
the question is which OS to go for, I use w2k lots and I am verry used
to it, I have one XP pro workstation (onely had it a couple of months),
and although I hate the changes to the UI, I am getting used to it.
Which is best for use on a mid spec laptop 1G P3 30Gb 256Mb ?

John
