qman 0 Posted May 14, 2005 I use Win XP, just because is newer and customer's always wondering why Win2000 with a 3K DVR. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scottj 0 Posted May 15, 2005 And Microsoft has already announced that they will not be supplying their distributors with 2000 any longer. They have already begun pulling the plug to updates and by the end of this year will no longer support it. XP is the best way to go if you are using MS OS, unless you have an extremely large deployment then use 2003 server and you have some great options to toss on the network. scottj Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
