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! ROry.

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.

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

Probably Linux is not an option for you, but still I'd like to say, that I found PD much more responsive under Linux (with a low-latency-patched kernel) than under Window 2000, not to speack of Windows 98. Expecially the GUI felt sluggish under Windows compared to Linux. I have no experience with XP and I hope, I won't need to get it ;)

I've been using pd on xp, and it runs fine (for my small domestic needs). One bug is that whenever I try to use the find option and it has to open a new window the program crashes, but for the rest have no complaints. When I have pacience and time, I'll try to install on suse 7.3
