Sharing on XP MCE2005

[SD99]

Hi
I've got a pc running win2k that I use as a fileserver/games pc. I'm
looking at getting XP Media Centre 2005 with a Vista Home Premium upgrade
coupon, and was wondering if I will still be able to access my shared and
private folders from my other pc's, once I have upgraded to media centre,
and then when I finally upgrade to Vista Home Premium later in the year,
once it more stable.


Thanks

As long as the permissions are set properly on the PC with the shares, you
should be able to access them just fine.

Note that there are separate Vista newsgroups.
