We're seeing better stability and the ability to roll-off drivers via System Restore is handy; we have some odd hardware floating around and the drivers aren't always what they could be. Group Policy is extended to cover even more things but this requires an AD domain, and hence is beyond the scope of any small business discussion. Fast User Switching is a feature that's handy for the scenario where there are a couple or three user for one box, and people don't want to go through the rigmarole of logging out. Finally, you're running VB6. Known to be ill-behaved in the context of Windows XP.

I wasn't impressed, but, ... I just picked up a MSFT Press book on the .Net framework and it has come a long way since Beta 1 of VS.Net. Of course, the foo you read is always better than how things are. But from what I've read so far, this looks like a good deal. Have you deployed any serious .Net apps? If so, how'd you rate your experience? bcnu, Mikem The soul and substance of what customarily ranks as patriotism is moral cowardice and always has been...We have thrown away the most valuable asset we had-- the individual's right to oppose both flag and country when he (just he, by himself) believed them to be in the wrong. We have thrown it away; and with it all that was really respectable about that grotesque and laughable word, Patriotism. - Mark Twain, "Monarchical and Republican Patriotism"
