Solve : CPU usage tracker?

Answer»

OK i'll bite...

Humor me.XP Home
XP Pro
XP Media
XP Starter

That's without looking on the internet, I bet there are more.Media Center is not a TRUE XP...if it were there would be a legitimate upgrade path...
Although based on the same core platform there are so many differences that nobody including the Mothership can talk me into accepting it as XP.

As far as XP Starter what would that be ? ? A legitimate OS or training wheels for Vista ?XP Starter is a cut down version of XP.
As far as I can recall, you could only run a few programs at a TIME (3, I think) and it had a RAM limit (512mb?).
Can't recall anything else offhand, but it was basically a limited version of XP Home, sold to developing countries.oh, sorry I meant vista....
there's six versions of the new windows os
That's Vista, not XP.I was originally trying to imply how retarded it is for MS to have so many different versions of the same OS. Why not just give us one OS that does what everyone needs and let the user disable the extra stuff if they find they don't like it.I suppose if you were looking for every version of xp you could include
Home
Pro
Media Center
Starter
64-bit
Pro 64-bit
Embedded
Tablet
Fundamentals

for a TOTAL of... too many.Quote from: michaewlewis on May 10, 2007, 01:12:41 PM

Actually I find it a good Idea to create more versions sow the costumers doesn't have to pay to much for the little things they need and visa verse.
For Vista you can chose between:
Home Basic (I do have doubts about that one.)(Doesn't have the 3D flip function)

Home Premium (The first one that's actually good enough for an upgrade but I do have problems to share things with that OS)

Business (Name explains itself)

Enterprise (Don't know anything about that one)

Ultimate (The complete version of Vista but very expensive)

And I think I'm forgetting 1 but I don't know witch oneQuote from: patio on May 10, 2007, 08:10:50 AM

What OS are you using?

Remember there are 2 different XP's now.

There have always been two...

Sorry, I obviously need to learn this forums tags for sarcasm...

ANYONE know what they are?

My original point was to be more specific, as in Home or Pro, not just XP, as Pro has a built in performance monitor. I remember reading about it briefly, but with not having Pro, I haven't had chance to have a "play" with it, so I might have been able to pass him onto something/one more knowledgeable.
