Yeah. I wanted a decent coaster for my coffee cup, when I'm working in Photoshop. :lol:

@ persia

HEY!!! Change that signature. I punched my monitor!  :whack:  :admonish:

Back to topic. I'll never do that. I think that Windows XP is the best even nowadays. Well, not better than AmigaOS, but this is another story. :-D

I'd try it, but Ubuntu does everything I need and is more painless than any version of Windows I've used (I haven't tried Vista as we have XP at work and I only use Windows at home for Ebay Turbolister. The only other Windows apps I need work in WINE  :-) )

I got the download, but need to get a key.  So far things look really great.

@trekiej

It's supposed to.  I only have a lowly Pentium 4 550 with 2GB RAM and it's looking really snappy.  I still need to load it up to see if it stays that way but I'm waiting to get a real key before I do that.  (Don't want to have to re-install, or be limited to 30 day eval...)

I might try it in a VMWare virtual machine on my Mac Pro, although I'm not sure how many TB of RAM it requires.  We have a few non-conformists here at my department that insist on using PCs rather than a standard OS X or Linux box...

The beta download is "Ultimate" which AFAIK, has an 1GHz CPU, 1GB RAM requirement (plus dedicated video to use Aero).

But, who expects to run a modern operating system on a 10+ year old hardware?
