 MicroCrap April 8, 2005

I have used DOS, Win3.1, Win95, Win98 and now this piece of crap OS. Microsoft's only interest is making money, thats why they come out with a new release of an OS upon a new release of an OS. Each one just as buggy, insecure and unstable as the previous version.
Anything coming from Microsoft just plain sucks.
I have now switched from InterCrap explorer to Mozilla and from Out-Crash-express to Thunderbird, soon I will completely switch to Linux, a FAR better and FUNCTIONAL OS for a far better price, namely free. My next laptop will be a Mac.
Dont waste your money, Microsoft designed software is garbage by definition. And for the person saying he can understand we are not all geeks : I shouldnt HAVE to be a frigging geek to use an OS

As previous reviewers have mentioned, you should make sure your hardware and software is XP compatible before you buy. Assuming everything is compatible Windows XP upgrade is a breeze to install, once installed it is very funtional and stable. The main irritation about previous Windows operating systems was the instability. My Windows XP installation has not crashed a single time since I installed 768 MB of Ram. For a stable system it is very important that you have enough Ram. When I only had 256 MB of ram installed the system was not much more stable than Windows 98 SE. I am very pleased with Windows XP, you will be too, if you have enough Ram, and XP Compatible software and hardware.

Since buying the upgrade of windows XP i have had to reinstall
it 3 times -onto a clean hard disk- The first time it just disappeared and turned into a blue screen,with messages that hive files were gone missing? 2nd time round the registery got
corrupted and the last time it refused to boot,and not wanting
to have to trall through another install i used the XP CD to try the recovery consol. This was as much use as a cigarette
lighter on a motor bike. None of the commands worked,and even trying the help file was useless. There seems to be a serious
problem with system restore in XP, and im fully updated with all the latest SPacks,and stacks of space on my hard disk alotted to SR! Check dates will disappear and when you really need ST to get you back and running -it goes pear shaped! I now running 3 restored version of XP completly backed up on a seperate hard disk using Power Quests Drive image.
My experences with XP are ITS NOT RELIABLE..

Yeah thats right windows xp home edition and professional was like wow when I saw it, but thats just it. It's just to look at. When I first saw it i thought wow looks great and looks like it will work great too. Well, I was wrong! I have had to install windows xp on my computer numerous times and frankly I'm getting tired of doing so. I swear, I can't download a single file cause I'm afraid it might distablize my computer or have a virus or something. The software is very glitchy, not to mention very unprotected. Even with the "updates" it still managed to catch a virus. Instead of windows xp firewall detecting my zone alarm firewall stop it from further destroying my computer. So, in all xp is a joke. I have never had so many problems with viruses, installing, etc. It is very unreliable, unstable and also a memory hog. I have a p4 computer 2.4 with 512 memory and still it is slow?!? I think those people at microsoft need to recall this crapware, because thats what it really is, and make a better os! Right now I am considering on getting either Linux or maybe switch back to 98 or 2000. At least with those os I know I won't have to reinstall everything a couple times a year!
