I use XP Pro with iSeries Access and Navigator and WDSCi 5.1 without any
trouble.  Just be sure you have plenty of memory; from what you have
listed I would suggest at least 1GB.

Subject: XP vs Win2000 Pro

I am getting a new PC at work.  The tech's latest rage is putting on XP.

However I've been given the option of remaining on Win2000 Pro.

My typical workload will have:
Five 5250 sessions open
Notes R6 Client and Administrator
5 or 6 browser sessions
iSeries Navigator
WDSC and/or Code/400
Excel
Word
My 'tray' includes:
TrendMicro Office Scan Corporate Edition
Sametime
Desktop Weather by The Weather Channel
Code Communication Daemon
IBM Community Tools

Based on this, should I care one way or the other which I run?  And why?

I ask this on this list to primarily see if any of these products, 
(especially iSeries ones) have "issues" with XP.
