Re: New PC - What MS OS?

If you're going to get a LOT of disk space, spring for NT/Server for your
desktop, and use mirroring or RAID.  Yes, yes, a dedicated disk controller
will give better performance, but for 'everyday' use (and with systems
getting faster all the time), I don't think the overhead is nasty.
