[AccessD] OT: WinXP Personal

Careful doing this with newer laptops...

I just did this same thing with a Compaq (bought it, dumped WinXP Home,
installed Win2K Pro).  Turns out that some of the new screens only have
drivers for WinXP, and they will not install at all under Win2K.  

I had to return the laptop because a WinXP Pro upgrade was not feasible at
the time for various reasons.

John,

>> I bought a Toshiba laptop with Win98 in Ireland (thanks Mark Breen) and
IMMEDIATELY
fdisked and installed Win2K Pro. This was November 1997. <<

Surely you mean 1999?
