After choosing the hardware (for our developer laptops), we have to choose the OS. Here are some of the most obvious choices:
- XP 32 bits - uhmm, fast and boring, wider compatibility range. Still a chance.
- XP 64 bits - getting better...
- Vista 32 bits - nice and cosy, just didn't like the video experience on D830 with nVidia Quadro 140; some compatibility problems that will have to be solved with VMs, but I love VMs :)
- Vista 64 bits - more compatibility problems, haven't tried it yet on the D830
- Windows Server 2008 - great on server tests compatibility, usability, performance, application support and minimalist experience, low on eye candy...
- Hyper-V with a combination of several of the later - this is the one I love the most - downside: 180d after RTM to ship...
- Ubuntu - ok, funny, now really?...
