an xp vm on a mac?
I see myself more likely to go with mac than lynux, since mac has more
options for access etc than windows, unless something changes.
All the best,
Dark.

nice thing about vmware is if you run it on a new machine and you put
windows xp inside of it then you can use xp with your new components
hard drives and stuff because vmware lets it work with those things.

I'm quite aware sapi 5.5, advanced net framework etc aren't
available for xp, but I've still! not been convinced that there
really is any reason to upgrade since practically speaking it seems
all I get is a more irritating interface and less compatibility with
a good few games, and though these components don't work, does
anything good actually use them?
If microsoft want to sell me a new operating system, give me a
reason why! I should use one, something it does better than xp, and
no, having flashy ribbons and the like isn't, indeed to me that's a
negative (I still think microsoft should've had the option for an xp
like interface).
If lots of developers use these new components to create better
games and such, well maybe that would be a reason to upgrade, but
that's not happened yet and I don't really see why i should say
goodbye to 32 bit compatibility, and! stagger around a more stupid
interface until that reason is there.
i don't doubt that will happen at some point in the future, but it
certainly hasn't yet, and especially not from microsoft.
I don't want to start this debate again, since I think everything
has been said that can be said, however I'm just pointing out there
are perfectly good reasons to stick with xp, and bigger numbers and
newer versions of components that most people only use to run other
software aren't! a reason to upgrade if they're not used for
anything good, which up to now they haven't been.
Beware the grue!
