[WriteLog] Operating system

[W0UN--John Brosnahan]

I have been considering switching to Writelog and have been
subscribed to the reflector for some now--in order to better
understand the features and any problems with the software.

I have been impressed with the level of support and plan to
purchase the software soon.  (With my move to Texas my
antennas are in storage--so there has been no hurry to
actually buy the software yet and start the clock ticking on
that one year of free support.)

I also plan to build another computer that will be dedicated to
logging.  Nothing special--but a competent system--something on
the order of a 2100+ Athlon, 512 MB RAM, fast/big disk, etc.

The real issue comes down to operating system.  I have virtually
all of the versions of MS Windows running on various systems
around here (I haven't moved down all of my computers yet--but I
count at least 16 already here!)

My preference for the logging system OS at this point is to go with
Win 2000 pro.  But I wonder if 2000 pro or Win XP is a better
choice.

If anyone has any strong feeling one way or the other I would
appreciate the input.  Or maybe just a vote for one or the other
would make it easier to be sure I was doing the right thing by
going with Win 2000 pro.  I want to be able to exercise all of
the features of Writelog--SO2R, voice keyer and contest recording,
networking--at least to a backup computer in the background, etc.

Thanks for any input.
