OOPS: [Edit] >> You can't base a product line on a MINORITY -----Original Message----- From: Haslett, Andrew [mailto:andrew.haslett at ilc.gov.au] Sent: Wednesday, 9 July 2003 9:36 AM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: RE: [AccessD] OT: WinXP Personal CASSINI is the web server included with the matrix. I don't see why people are bagging XP Home. Why should it include all the features of XP Pro.. Thats why its called PRO!! Its a product designed for the average 'HOME' user of which most would never need to develop web pages. You can't base a product line on a majority. If people want extra features - pay for it! Its up to users to 'review' a products features *before* buying it, so I've got no sympathy for people who have purchased HOME and now complain about not having a web server. XP is the most stable version yet (barring Win2003) and has amazing functionality compared to the other 'operating systems' available, yet it receives much criticism of which *most* is undeserved.

I don't own it. I have just seen threads about all the things that it won't do and I was contributing another thing it doesn't do. John W.

I think it can be downloaded as part of web matrix. Martin On Jul 8 2003, Drew Wutka wrote: > Yes, Windows XP Home should NEVER be bought for any reason...ever! <grin> > > I'm serious.
