What to use

#1 You will need windows xp if you want to update to august sdk. because they stop to make sdk for win2K (december 2004 i think) i got the same problem before and is the reason i bought windows xp.


and for compiling you just need visual c++ 6 or visual c++.net 2002 or 2003. is the same methode for tge for compiling

#2 I remember there was an issue with 2000 because MS will no longer support it. I know. It's dumb.

#3 It's not dumb... you can't keep the old os's running forever. Microsoft has bills to pay just like everyone else.

XP cd + license sticker is like 100 bucks or less so...

TSE is being built for the latest API's / OS / hardware shaders. Win 2000 was built with DX 5.0 right? .. antique technology.

#4 I feel like Microsoft could have been supported 2000 for another year.

#5 Randy -- I doubt the OS really depends on DX5... Windows 2000 doesn't render very much -- plus, even if you have DX9C installed, it will use that instead of what it came with... plus, I prefer Windows 2000 to XP (I have legal copies of both, but I dislike XP).

#6 I said it that's what it had when it was being developed by Microsoft to make a timeline comparison.

#7 And the answer is?..
