Here is my experience:
98SE    crappy but well supported
ME     I had horid problems, avoid it.
NT    Very solid, but sound support is weak
2000    solid, good sound support
XP        nifty features, shows promise, but still buggy. I am waiting until at least Service pack 1

well,

i'd promote XP ro 2000... although the copy protect stuff in XP is really
bad, it is NT.  2000 has some device compatibility issues.. each one has ups
and downs, but for PD you really want an NT based platform, much more
stable. ME is exactly the same as 98 with some extra bells and wistles, it's
still just a DOS shell.

just my 2cents.

Subject: [PD] best windows platform for pd?


I have an enquiry, which is the best operating system
for pd after windows 98? We have to upgrade a few
computers and I'm just curious what people out there
think? Thanks in advance!
