[solved] running experiment on different version of windows - possible?

Hi!

I just love the new version of OS! especially the escape button that allow you to take breaks! Thank you so much!

I wanted to ask if it is possible to run OS 3.0.1 on different Windows platforms (XP, 2007, 2010) and pulling them into one analysis, without the results of the experiment (especially timing and RTs) being affected.

Thanks!

Good to hear! (We usually hear only the things that go wrong.)

If all the systems run smoothly, there's no reason why you couldn't combine results from different systems. An exception may be when you are interested in absolute RTs, which will vary a bit depending on the keyboard, monitor, operating system, etc. But if, as is usually the case, you're interested in condition differences, there should be no problem.
