I run W2K sp4, and Vegas 6 on a P4.
I use W2K because it's just like all the operating sytems I have owned (and still own) going back to DOS.
When I upgrade my hardware I put W2K on it, no problem.
I have not bought XP because apparently I am not allowed to put it on my new hardware platforms when I build them.
1) Is this true?
I left Premier a few years ago when it no longer supported W2K and bought into Vegas, and have been very happy with Vegas except for the 5.1 surround sound not working properly (can't get the sound source to move properly around the sound space, most annoying :-).
However it appears Vegas is going the the same route as Premier, as some of its features in 7 only work on XP.
I'd love to upgrade from Vegas 6 to 7 and use the new Cinescore package but I'm not buying a new operating system just because I built a new PC, or upgraded Vegas.
What to do?
2) Linux is awfully tempting but does it have anything like Vegas or Premier? I don't think so.
3) Is Vegas likely to be ported to Linux? Probably not!
4) Will W2K support my next system coming real soon now when I finally get over the pouring through the specs choosing this or that, oh and maybe that as well and gee can I really afford that as well, to get my platform up to speed (current fave dream system: Core 2).
5) Will W2K make full use of the dual processors? Will Vegas 6?
Anyone got the patience to make suggestions on what to do? :-)
Cheers,
