Windows XP or Windows 2000
Which one and why?
P.S. Don't bother mentioning MacOS, because it's not even an option in this instance.

I would look into the custom builds that are available from non-M$ sources. There are versions available where a great deal of bloat and resource overhead has been removed, and the install is unattended. Ideal for high process use, like audio production.percussion boy wrote:If you go XP, look into XP Pro. I've been happy with it and I THINK it gives you maximum tweakability for audio.
Or, you could acquire one of these versions and then create your own using your copy of windows XP.
it's probably been on here a hundred times, but if you follow the instructions at http://www.musicxp.net/ Xp runs pretty damn well.

The main difference between Home and Pro is that Pro is tooled up for networking. If you're not in need for serious networking in your studio, then save yourself some $$ and hard drive space by going with Home. As a general rule, the less bells & whistles, the more stable.percussion boy wrote:If you go XP, look into XP Pro. I've been happy with it and I THINK it gives you maximum tweakability for audio.
