At this time, are there any known interoperability issues with XP, W98se and/or ME? In otherwords, do I need to get concerned about upgrading the workstations in my office to XP after I can't get W98se or ME any more? FYI - the network is NT4.0 SP6a.
TIA,
Byron

Issues will probaly surface with the systems hardware and not the operating systems,anything that does not support the latest hardware within 3yrs,would possibly be incompatible
I would not be to concerned right now,and you may be jumping the gun because you still have WIN2K,to migrate machines to that could be the next step instead of XP.

You'll always be able to get win98 and it is the most compatible of all those you mentioned. ME has limitations and so does XP.
All new software will be more restricting in your choices for applications. Don't allow yourself to be pushed down a road that gets narrow and leads to only one place.

You dont really want to run ME in a office but windows xp is promising I would hold off for a little while and stay with the tried and true nt4.0 while all the quarks are worked out of or discovered in windows xp alot of companies have not even upgraded to widows 2000 yet because of the problems they have getting it to work with their apps. windows 2000 servers and windows ME machines dont get along so well either.
ps: I think XP runs great I have been running the beta 2 for a month now and havent been having any problems looks good.
also color scales look macintosh like reel smooth.
