OT: Operating System Upgrade
Given the gargantuan limitations of Windows ME, I'm going to ditch it and install a new OS.
Given the intent of Mr.Gates and his ilk to stop supporting Win2K as soon as possible, and the fact that Photoshop CS2 needs it, the "upgrade" will unfortunately be XP:Pro. I've been learning to deal with XP on another machine, and since SP2 it's been tolerable, so I'll manage.
Now the last time I did this was from 95 to ME. They both run on DOS so there was no problem just installing the new one over the old one. Now since XP has no DOS in it, will I be able to do the same thing? Just throw in the CD and spend an hour at it?
Any help/advice/warnings appreciated. (Other than "Oh my god, don't go to XP - it sucks!" I'll just ignore that.)
