Re: What PC operating system?

["Bruce Roorda" <possum1@softhome.net>]

I'm using Windows XP Home Edition and it also has the features described for
XP Pro below.

I'm using the NTFS file system, the System Restore feature has been very
useful to me and the device driver rollback feature is also there, though I
have not used it.

I particularly like the system restore feature; it's much more convenient
than my old brand of paranoia, an unbroken chain of clean registry backups
in Win98SE.
