Hi.
First things first, im trying my hardest not to have to do the following, this is plan B incase it plan A doesnt work.
Anyway.
In the evantuality that i'll have to re-install windows, im wondering which version should i install? I have the choice between:
--XP Home.
--XP Professional.
--XP 64bit.
--Vista Business 32bit.
--Vista Business 64bit.
Afaik, in regards to Vista & XP64, my only two essential apps that might not work, are iTunes and Ultramon.
My essential apps are:
Office 2007, specifically Outlook.
Opera.
Firefox.
Azureus.
Windows Live Messenger.
Nero.
SpeedFan. (Temperature and S.M.A.R.T Monitoring).
SharpKeys (To use the extra keys on my keyboard for specific uses).
Various codecs (FFDshow, Ogg Filter, AC3 Filter, Flac, Vodei Video).
System Specs:
Questions though:
--Which should i go for and why?
--Is all my hardware compatible with the version that you suggest?
--Is all my essential software compatible?
--Will it run well on my hardware?
--If Vista was used, could i use the interface in it to upgrade it to Ultimate with my money, even though the original key is a volume licencing one (dont start accusing, im legally entitled to use any and all software under the licencing agreement).
