That is likely what I will end up doing eventually, ---- can you run 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

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!
