Hi all. I currently have a computer with no OS. I've tried and love several Windows Whistler builds. I have a installation ISO of some builds and I'd like to install one on that PC to use as a semi-everyday computer. Is it OK if I do that? I have some questions though:
1. For example, if I'm downloading WinRAR or whatever, it may ask me to choose the OS of my PC, like XP or 7 etc., but because Whistler is not a final version OS, it's not listed, so what do I choose? (I think 2000 because when you go to 'My Computer > Properties', it says 'Windows 2000 Professional' in Whistler, but I have never downloaded anything on a Whistler before so I don't know)
2. Also, will my hardware work on it? I have several peripherals that are compatible with Windows 2000, but as stated above, is Whistler based on 2000? So should they work?
3. Do you think that there will be many bugs in it (since it's a beta) and that I should be worried? If yes, any way to fix the bugs?
The OS I'm most likely going to install is Whistler build 2267. My PC is meets the recommended requirements so don't ask.
