 Poorly designed operating system December 1, 2007
5 out of 10 found this review helpful
The only reason i bought YET ANOTHER (cha ching, thank you BG) copy of this operating system is for my mother in law to use (she refuses to switch) all because I upgraded her 4 yr old computer's motherboard and cpu. Hers had a non-branded OEM version in it. 2 years ago i downloaded and installed Ubuntu and not long after Sam Linux on my system and I haven't looked back.
Windoze is nothing but a money drain. I refuse to even put any M$ web browser or email client on her windoze machine for security reasons. Yea Xp is great if you like your hard drive constantly spinning, requires registry cleaning, antivirus, firewall, anti-spyware software, reformats every couple of years. Yea you can get all free versions, but god help you if you start using more than 1/2 your hard drive space AND GATES gets to tell you what to do with it and use it for. With sam linux I am up to 80% hard drive usage and it is STILL as quick as the day I loaded it (two years). Can you imagine buying a stereo for your car and being told you can't take it out and install it in your new car, that you HAVE to buy another one? Oh yea, that would work.
For everyday web browsing/email and if you HAVE to play games on your computer use Windoze. If your smart use a mac or BSD/Linux for everyday use and get a game console to play games.

I bought this full version of xp because i had a lot of file damage done to my old xp so i just wanted to install this version over the top of my old version. Well i ran into problems as i read the fine print on the new xp box this operating system would only work on older systems like windows 95 or 98. Well my computer is a windows xp professional and it would not allow me to instal the new full version over my old operating system, it told me so when i tried to install the new system, so i will have to get a new harddrive and and a new op system. But the system i bought was mailed promptly, i would recommend reading the fine print carefully. Sincerely Robert Hadlock

I had to buy this to install on my Macbook Pro/boot camp. The Dell I bought was a POS, so this was a big improvement. I really should not write a review, because I dispise Microsoft and all that it represents. After you try an Apple, there is no going back.
One odd thing about XP is that it does not recognize other Microsoft products. For example, when installing Streets and Trips 2007, it would not launch. I was forced to go to Start, run, then D:\setup.exe, something that would NEVER happen on a Mac. I had to do this with other installs, and in fact all programs give the staring code because I guess this is a common problem. Another gripe: when I installed S&T with gps on my aforementioned Dell, the stupid program would not find the gps, even tho THIS WAS A MICROSOFT GPS, ON A MICROSOFT PROGRAM, ON A MICROSOFT COMPUTER. Un-freakilng-believable, and a statement as to the quality and stupidity of all that is Microsoft.
Upon finally installing your product, go to the Microsoft webpage and download various upgrades, such as IE 7, and other stuff.

Easy to upgrade from Windows ME. I did have to increase my RAM by 256K but after that, works like a charm.
