I wish I could say I was playing with Windows XP RC1 but i didn't get my cd yet... <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0">! What did they do? They always have to mess up something LOL. XP looks VERY good too me I can't wait.
Well XP passed my first test, my daily Q3 fph went up 15% which at least means it's no worse than ME.....lol I'll get to the technical stuff later.....G
According to the info I received from M$ You will be able to do this either on RC2 or final. According to paper work this has be disabled in beta and RC1 <IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0">Quote:

I'll download RC1 if its out and let you know.JKS</STRONG>

And here's the answer :
This is the one line of code that Microsoft actually wrote for themselves.....

Oh, I'm sorry, time is up....the question is:
"What is a 'general protection fault'?"
But, we do have some lovely parting gifts for you and your family....but hurry, because this software will only work for 14 days......

I haven't played with it yet....I'm a bit frustrated by the whole thought process behind MS putting out a new OS every 2 or so years regardless of whether or not it's a quality product. I have no probs learning and using a new OS...so long as it's worthwhile. Raise your hand if you had ME installed for a few weeks and then reformatted and went back to 98SE. Raise your hand if your network is still trying to figure out how to rollover from NT to 2000 without creating a security and stability issue... Forgive me if I'm not so excited about XP. <IMG SRC="smilies/mad.gif" border="0">
Our entire network is NT4 for server side. We dont want to convert for another year.
Now I'm sure that installing fresh is best, but are there any paticular known problems with installing over another OS(ME or 98)... got a copy in hand, just havent thrown it on a puter yet...
XP rc-1 is very flashy, and nice, but what if a ok user tryed to use it? When I first loaded up XP and went into the start mrnu its was completely diffrent, wont this confuse alot of windows users? Although it was ez to configure it to look like the classic and have a XP theme on. But this is one reaseon why my work will not goto XP. The users here are to confused on win2000 right now let alone goto XP.
Although XP looks nice and is very very fast, even network support is very fast (couldnt beleive it) XP is just very very flashy, looks nice but how will it perform out in the world over the net with thousands of users? And how will this License thing do to microsoft? Will lauching XP right now when win2000 hasnt even been out for a year yet, be a good idea? Personally I think M$ should wait till next year of this time.
I don't have XP, but I do have to add a comment based on a newspaper article I read over the weekend.
Did you all know that XP will require you to register your computer's hardware configuration with M$? They want you to do this to prevent ppl from installing the same copy on other machines. One copy goes with one hardware configuration.
Ok, I understand that Bill is poor and needs the cash, but what about upgrades? I'm constantly changing the guts of my box, how many can I make before XP thinks it's in a different machine and quits? Then I get to call M$ and beg them to re-activate my XP?
And what is M$ doing with all this information that they will be collecting from all the XP users? Storing it safely away? I think not.
I dunno what new toys they will be selling with XP, but the privacy issue is too big, and 98SE runs great.
I'll pass, thanks.
I question MS's motives for releasing a new OS at this time. From a business standpoint there are no logical reasons to upgrade. It would be a huge waste of money, time and effort.
I've played on it a bit but not much... I've heard good things from my friends who run it.

I have tried both ways. I tthink as always a fresh install is the way to go but it does handle upgrade very well. If you do a fresh install it should be on a different HD. Change you C to D or what ever. After you install XP and get it up and running stable you can use XP to migrate your applications to your C drive. Ideally the best way is to make a multi-boot system. As with all RC and beta software there will be bugs and glitches. At present there are a great number of cards and hardware not yet supported but this will change as it gets closer to final release. Go for it and have fun with it. We are part of the original beta group and have been running it for some time. We like it. <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">Quote:
