Thu, 03 February 2005 04:54 Hi guys, I work in IT, and let me tell you unless you are installing a fresh install of windows, and know for sure all your hardware and apps are compatible, don't waste your time, bandwidth or health. I have had loads of people coming to me saying they installed it and it nuked their computer (no data loss in all cases, just killed the windows installation) and there are those that come to me saying that there computers have become slower, and less stable after installing it. There are no reports of completely successful upgrades (mind you, these users are just the average joe, no superusers) On all our images we use WinXP SP2 installed via slipstreamed CD, and if installed from scratch (and all your hardware and software is compatible) then it is no worse than it is with SP1a. (Note, that this doesn't mean its good it just isn't any worse.) Me? I choose windows 2000 SP4 if I am forced to use a windows boxen (a frequent occurrence these days unfortunately) and only find myself becoming increasingly frustrated with every extra minute I have to spend with XP. Anyway, moral of the story. If it is not a clean install, don't waste your time. If you are installing a clean copy of windows then sure go for it. [Report message to a moderator]
