About to make a new VM machine on my MacBook Pro. Should I go with XP or W2K? I have licenses for both but was wandering if all I need the windows for is Visual Studio .Net builds, SQL manager and some XmlSpy work, any chance W2K would be faster or lighter on the RAM requirements?
Based on the comments I've seen here, more people are having kernel panics with 2000 than XP. However, I haven't counted up the complaints, that's just my gut feeling. I can, however, attest from personal experience that XP performs well under Parallels. I haven't tried vs.net or sql manager yet, but I will be doing that very soon.
