[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I am posting to both lists since there are knowledgeable people everywhere... Later this week I will buy a new computer. It will be a Wintel machine, since I need to use it for both "real work" and my photo stuff. I have the option of buying an off-the-shelf machine with XP Home editional preinstalled, or having it custom-made, in which case I can of course install whatever OS I want. The one thing that concerns me about XP is the registration requirement and the possibility that at some point the program will think that this is a new computer and will not let me install some accessory or upgrade. Am I being paranoid? I would like to hear from people who have XP computers and who have subsequently installed things like extra SCSI cards etc. Also, what is the situation with new drivers for peripherals like the Nikon LS2000, Epson 2450 scanners, and Epson 700, 1200 and 1160 printers? Any special problems in the XP context? TIA.
