- transcode 20GB of conference videos
- push 6GB through SSH
- pull another 1.5 GB from HTTP
- pull/share 300MB podcasts with BitTorrent
- view Bloglines with Firefox
- edit a text file (this one) with Vi
- chat in IRC
The above has to occur without serious latency or interaction. Admittedly most of the above are text-based and/or tunable, but I'm wondering if XP can do it too. Yes, there are days when I don't use more than one side of the dual boot and, yes, there are good reasons to use XP. Just don't ask me to list them after 6 p.m. (As I write this, it's 8:30 p.m.)
