Windows XP -- anybody preview it?
There is no XP forum, so I thought the "All NT" forum might be the place to ask an XP question.
Windows XP Preview
I know XP is the long-awaited merge between the NT kernel and the 95 kernel... my question is, when a person goes to install all those old 95/98/ME-only programs and drivers, are those programs going to see the kernel as NT 6.0 and refuse to install?
Also, how long does it usually take vendors to start issuing drivers to support a new OS?

I have seen a Beta of Xp and played with it - I just hate the Interface!
I prefer good old NT - But i can Live also with 2000

I've used the xp and any program that run under nt and most of the win 9x ran. as for drivers ...they have to be win2k drivers to work. That was my experience with it.
