I recently finished my first build from scratch. The build went fine, but I couldn't get Windows XP to install. After several problems, I went to the local computer shop for help. He told me that you can't install Windows XP from a disk that has been used on another computer. He also said that you can't buy the full version of home edition anymore because Microsoft wants to sell you the hardware with it or make you buy XP Pro. I thought he was feeding me a line until I tried looking for the home edition myself with no luck. Now I'm ready to say screw the corporate ****s and go with another operating system.
To make a long story longer, windows is the only OS that I've used (I've dabbled with Macs a bit, but not that much). If I go with another operating system like Linux, can I still synch my Pocket PC? What are the other options for operating systems? What other issues might I run into? Thanks.
