Hi, Gordon, I am using XP Service Pack 2 in my Bootcamp partition. A mysterious problem arose with it when we bought a new router. The problem, when eventually solved, turned out that the new router had been given WPA2 security settings, and XP SP2 could only cope with WEP security. I have heard that Service Pack 3 can handle more sophisticated security.
XP does pretty well for my needs, but I believe Windows 7 is faster, particularly if you have a 64 bit machine.
