 Even XP beta worked great for me September 10, 2001

I like the integrated firewall. I don't have Office on this machine, and had no problems using Outlook Express. I am not so sure I like the indexing service but, heck, you don't have to use it. I have been running TheSims on it and it works just great for that game. I have also used the web browser extensively. I hardly ever log in to AOL, but it is compatible with XP. Weatherbug works. If you buy a machine with Me on it, try to get the XP upgrade for (price). Updating XP has run slick as a whistle. I think it is a smooth transition from the old Dos-based opsys to the new kernel. Since I haven't used it with Windows I can't speak to problems integrating it there. I like
the Weatherbug on my desktop, and it is also compatible with XP.
So my experience has been very good.
 Any upgrades are negated by new crippling features August 19, 2001

Coming from Office 97, I was initially impressed with some of the features of Word and Excel that fixed some of the problems, added some of the features that I wished for in 97.Words can not express my reaction when I got another computer for my one man office and called Microsoft on how to network the program to both computers. Not only could I not do THAT, I can't install the software on the other computer AT ALL. I was told that the program is installable on one desktop and one laptop. Those that work in small offices but have more than one computer or who want to be able to take work home and have a desktop instead of a laptop are out of luck. They do not state this out front so BE WARNED....

Office XP is not worth a looking at. Plain and simple. This overpriced program adds nothing really big over Office 2000 and also makes Windows 95 useless in the process. Now don't get me started about that product activation bull. You can read an article on CNET on how much trouble that is.So the rule of thumb is this.. if you can get a copy of Office 2000, go with it. XP is too much of a hassle, not worth an upgrade, and that activation stuff is a true invasion of privacy. One of the worst MS programs up there with Windows ME.
XP ruined the Microsoft products on my Dell computer June 28, 2001

I installed this product on my Dell computer. It did not try to register itself, but I got the message that installation was complete. I cannot access Word, Excel or PowerPoint. I was not able to uninstall it completely. Windows 98 and Explorer are hardly working. I cannot access my Office 97 or even uninstall it and reinstall. Dell Computer is of absolutely no help. Office XP is dangerous garbage.
 Some nice features, but not worth the money. June 23, 2001

It's hard to justify the cost for the set of features it delivers. I've waited a long time for this upgrade from Microsoft; I expected more. If the price where more like a Windows Me upgrade,... I'd say it's worth the money, but over twice as much for the standard edition upgrade, I'd say wait as long as you can to upgrade. Perhaps Microsoft will realize it needs to add more funcationality or start offering large rebates. As much as Microsoft needs the revenue from Office, if it doesn't sell as expected, Microsoft will need to do something.
