Hello all,
I was recently give the gift on MSDN Subscritions by my parents ( I am an apiring programmer). Anyway, one of the platforms included in the package is Called "Windows XP Professional Checked/Debug Build"
Does anyone here happen to know exactly what this is? I also got the standard verion of Windows XP Pro, and I was just wondering which one I should be installing on my development machine. I tried searching the MSDN site, for I got overwhelmed with the information and could not find a clear answer on what the differnce is between the two versions.
Thanks in advance for any information given

It's a version of Windows XP that contains all the debug code/symbols in case of problems. It runs in debug mode when booting, which slows it down a bit. Probably oughta stay away from it for normal use

OP
Thanks a lot for the info!
