 Not bad for Microsoft November 20, 2006
16 out of 29 found this review helpful
Other than the substandard security; the endless hours you will spend trying to clean out spyware, protecting against viruses, etc.; and the fact that Microsoft has built in it's own spyware to notify them when you are connected to the internet, it's pretty good. It is a good evolution of their graphical interface and quite intuitive.
If you are concerned about your ability or willingness to protect yourself against malicious attack from internet scumbags, buy a Mac. As you face the upgrade to MS Vista, you're going to need to upgrade your CPU, so you are essentially at a crossroads.
Good luck!

I needed this for my new MacBook laptop that will give me Apple and Windows on the same machine. The laptop works fine, the pocketbook is thinner. You do what you have to do;
Bad even for Microsoft June 22, 2006

Since they began, Microsoft has consistently delivered on the poor quality that we have all come to expect from them. They have outdone themselves on this product though, exceeding their previous products in sheer lack of quality. They have greatly stepped up their efforts to make Windows be the worst it can be, successfully making it even worse than their previous operating systems.
All sarcasm aside, XP is just BAD. I think it is MUCH worse than Windows 2000 in many ways, and it seems much less stable. Windows has many problems, none of which seem to have been fixed in XP. For example, Windows XP STILL uses a registry, which was a bad idea to begin with, and Windows XP still does not do a good job maintaining it. What this means in terms of the end user is that Windows XP will tend to get slower and less stable over time, and must be reinstalled every 2 - 3 years. My computer is currently at that point, and a very good computer (768 MB RAM and 2.4 GHz single-core Pentium) has been reduced to the point of being nearly unusably slow and unstable. I am not sure at this point if I am even going to bother re-loading Windows XP. I'll definitly be switching to Linux and might put Windows on, but only as a secondary operating system.
If you are looking for powerful tools for development, multimedia, etc., I do not recommend Windows. All the good tools are written for Linux/Unix.
Windows is good at very little and bad at most other things. Their search tool remains horribly inefficient, speed and stability in general are abysmally bad, and Windows is terrible at multi-tasking.
Buy a Mac, save your sanity! June 13, 2006

I used to ow a PC...I work with PCs all day at work. I've used every version of this lousy OS that's been released, up to and including, Windoze XP
Now, I come home to my Mac (2nd one I have personally owned) and know what a REAL OS is supposed to be.
Unless you have specific programs that don't have Mac compatible versions, you really have no reason to buy a PC. Seriously. Why anyone would, with all the porly built versions of Windoze, is beyond me.
Anyway, if you REALLY must have Windoze...you can put it on a Mac now. You will have the ability to shut the damn thing off and move on over the wonderfully put together OS X when you don't want to deal with it anymore.
Please people, get a Mac and teach Bill Gates to either make a good product or don't bother.
All I have to say is that with a Mac, you can forget about CTRL ALT DELETE!
