I am not running XP yet but I have a shrinkwrapped "pro" sitting here

Hmmm. Have you considered MS DOS 1.1? :}


I used PCDOS 1.0 on my PC1 but I kept upgrading as long as I saw
benefit. 6.3 is about as good as DOS got. I haven't seen the benefit
in XP yet and Vista is a virus.


I have Windows 98SE on an older laptop that I use for a midi interface and
sequencer for the keyboards. It runs fine, but I haven't used it on the
'Net for a long time. The other computers, (this one on the boat) and my HP
both run XP.

I am no computer guru, but XP Pro has been the most stable Microsoft OS
since Windows 3.1, in my experience.
