has anyone tried this yet? i've found some great guides for using windows 2003 as a workstation and supposedly it's much more stable than XP. i'd love to keep using litestep on it, but i'm wondering if anyone knows if it works?

thanks

i found it to be faster in everyday tasks such as copying file, opening apps, etc, but at the sacrifice of a few fps in directX / openGL games

Would there be much point/benefit in running 2003 on an everyday computer? I'm just curious... not too familiar with Win03.

win03 is a noticably faster OS than XP. some of it's a little challenging to get certain things to run, but it was the same way when win2000 first came out and everyone had to hack the hell out of games to get them to run on that also.

and with a 3ghz amd and a radeon 9800, i'm hoping not to notice a few fps here and there if i can get the speed on everything else.

i'm still trying to get all the other apps running first before i go to litestep, so i havent tried it yet. soon enough...

I run 2k3 as my main os and litestep works fine with it. It's pretty much the same thing as xp.

good to hear, that's what i figured. i guess my only question is do the user accounts work any different?

? What do you mean? Are you referring to FUS?

no i meant installing it for one user account rather than the system. (normally i just set the HKLM key to litestep rather than a specific user)

no, it should still only set litestep as the shell for the current user
