 Windows XP....THE BEST OS EVER November 20, 2004
15 out of 21 found this review helpful
Windows XP Professional is the best operating system ever, however, I do not reccommend the Home Edition version, it is too limited. I also reccommend Microsoft Office 2003 Professional Edition along with XP, because it will increase your performance.
Windows XP certianly looks different, because of the new design. Ideal for home and professional users, while your at home making a business card, or if you are at the office. It can handle Hyper Threading, as well as advanced applications.
Windows XP rarely crashes, and if it does, it is not the whole OS, but just a program, and it is so easy to close. Then, just simply restart the application and you are back up and running.
Windows XP is very easy to install; just pop in the CD, answer a few simple questions, and your done in just forty-five minutes!
Windows XP is a valid upgrade for users of any Windows Operating System, weather it be 2000, 98, ME, 95, XP Home, or NT, XP will increase your performance and make you overall happier!
Windows XP Professional June 24, 2004

I have been a freelance translator for the past 15 years; and as such, was forced to learn how to operate a computer at a rather advanced age. That was during 1990. I started with a plain little computer, no WYSIWYG. . .and I can't even remember what the operating system was, but it was, most assuredly built by Bill Gates and was not yet "Windows".
I have FINALLY GRADUATED to this WONDERFUL version of Windows. . Windows XP Professional, the zenith of operating systems. I assure anyone who is reading this, that it is a most worthwhile investment. No more crashes. The computer even TELLS YOU when it has "indigestion". I love it. I cannot believe how good it is. I recommend it most heartily to everyone. You will certainly not be sorry once you load it on to your computer.
 Pretty but LINUX IS BETTER, CHEAPER May 31, 2004

Linux is a better and cheaper operating system. A free download (such as Mandrake 10) includes what would be thousands of dollars worth of software if it was a MS operating system. The GIMP, while not as polished as Photoshop, is also free (Unlike Photoshop for windows, which is almost $1000). In my opinion, I would rather spend $0.00 on linux and spend the money I saved upgrading my computer. I would go with Linux if I were you (even has an office suite that works with MS Office documents). You won't regret it.
The Best Microsoft Operating system ever created May 22, 2004

Microsoft hit a home run with Windows XP Professional. If you want the most solid, reliable, and most trouble free operating system look no further.I give MS XP Pro 5 Gold stars!
This is one sweet operating system but not 4 old technology May 14, 2004

Windows XP Pro is quite arguably the most reliable operating system that Microsoft has come out with yet. Additionally it comes with the option of converting it to a Windows 98SE desktop appearance, for those who don't want to fuss with learning new instructions to get the old things done. It does so much more though.
One note of caution; do not install XP in an older machine, with older hardware. Your sound card vendor may have stopped making software drivers a long time ago for your now discontinued device. The problem is that they do not want to spend the resources to create drivers for a product that they no longer make. So if you have an old video card, audio card, modem, etc, it quite possibly won't work with XP. If you try to install XP you will get all kinds of incompatible error messages. So do yourself a favor and put old wine into old bottles, and new wine into new ones; consider getting a newer machine if you are going to upgrade to XP. You might wind up spending close to the same amount of money upgrading your components to make it work, as you would to just simply buy a new one. Check with all of your hardware manufacturers to see if they produced XP drivers for your existing hardware. Hope this helps.
