I am a heavy user of Win2K - it plays the most games. I am also doing video editing, CD burning. Linux has software for those tasks, but Winblows has the best selection of quality tools (e.g. Ulead Media Studio Pro).
QUESTION: Where's the info on hacking the copy protection?:-)
Until such time, you won't see me buying XP. I have 3 computers to install it on - Microsnot is high if they think I'm going to fork over 3x for an already overpriced product. I want to get the family computer off of Win98, but not badly enough to line the pockets of Redmond. BTW, the corporate edition (5+ licenses) does not have the hardware detection/copy protection scheme.
BTW, I just ordered RedHat 7.2 for my Linux server.
I too thought the comment about the embargo was quite stupid. A microsecond of thought would reveal that is an absurd, reactionary statement against the corporate world. Need I point out the obvious truth? If they broke the NDAs, then they would not get pre-release hardware anymore. Now what can the review? I guess they could spend their time commenting on silly/. arcticles.
Please. Let's complain about something worth complaining about.
BTW, how can people accuse sites like AnandTech of unbiased reviews? As near as I can tell, they point out pros AND cons quite clearly. They have also quite clearly championed their view that the GeForce3 is NOT worth buying yet. Do you think nVidia wanted them to say that?
Of course, then there's Tom. He may be less positive than most reviewers, but it is all obscured by his self-proclaimed technical prowess (or lack thereof). "A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing."

Call me a fence-sitter.
