Eventually, when I buy a new PC. I am quite happy with XP at this point. (My first PC was second-hand loaded with Win95-- I was very happy to upgrade to WIN98 then . When I bought another PC with XP-- what more could I need?

Many people mock Microsoft. This I understand, I guess ; I see Microsoft for what it is: a massive corporation that has just happened to change the face of the planet via software, providing our society with what I have dreamed of since the late 1970's-- Star Wars-level technology! :cheesy:

Without MS, I'm not sure if I would be posting this message right now.

Check this out. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Microsoft-Wi...TF8&s=software

That is the upgrade and it is only £250

The full edition is £369.99 on amazon as well. I am still gonna get it.

Why not look at a more basic version? lol Only jokin I know most people on this forum atleast would never dream of it.:cheesy:

why would you want to think about buying the ultimate edition for home use, unless of course you have a huge network server at home.
Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.

Well, because it has all of the features of the business and home premium packages, which includes an iis. And of course every one has to have the best. Why does it matter if we don;t have a huge network server?

you already use a sucky version so upgrading to another sucky version should not be a problem. But I agree the basic version is probably not adequate for software development.

To revise my first post in this thread, I will certainly be using it when I start working in 6 months, but I'm not sure when I'll be upgrading my personal system (which barely meets some of the min reqs currently)
