XP still has video driver troubles in some cases. But, for the most part, it's a pretty good OS. With Windows Pro it pretty much zips along. If you are using well established HW, ie stuff where there are easily available windows drivers for the hardware, and you don't need all the bells and whistles of XP, it makes sense to run lean and mean. Well, I suppose even they have a sense of humour! But to go back to the original question, for me W2K is by far the best system to date Microsoft has produced.

It creates a balance between being stable and functional, but nowhere near as bloated as XP. Perhaps it is lack of XP use on my part, but W2K also seems more configurable. Let's face it, Microsoft's marketing machine wants you to believe you "must have" XP. I don't believe that. It is by no stretch of the imagination fast, but it is stable. Since it is slower than the minimum requirements, I loaded it just to see if it would work. It took almost 6 hours to load, and takes almost ten minutes to boot, but what do you expect?

I think most ppl prefer 2K; but what about the pros and cons in 2k and XP? Easy to use, to get help, to get support on the web, forum, etc I personally like windows 98 as well, run very fast even on low end machine! Well, I am not saying that it won't happen in the 2K; some nasty experience I got from 2k with a linksys usb wireless nic as well, it just didn't work on 2k.

XP does have it's good side; as I remember it runs less services compare with 2K; the desktop theme can be customized; other extra features mostly for gamers, or home users. However, I don't think I really "need" those features. In some companies, I have bad experience on setting up 2k3 server with xp Since the life cycle for 2k support will be gone soon, it sounds true that we should move forward to "newer" or "better" technology.

However, if there are no good reasons to change, why should we do so?! A lot of programs won't work and you won't find drivers for everything.

You need to accept this. However, it's nice doing stuff like this just for the fun, so go ahead. May 18, 1 1 0. Bottom line, yes, it is possible to install Windows Professional on a modern PC. Best wishes. Apr 3, 5 1 0. Integrate driverpack. You must log in or sign up to post here.
