 Unstable and ... November 3, 2005
12 out of 19 found this review helpful
This operating system was one of the most unsatisfactory I have ever used--including DOS, Win 3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98.
Aside from being incompatible with older hardware, XP Home Edition crashes frequently-particularly if you like to work with several windows open at once.
Most important, the program is highly susceptible to viruses and hackers. Preventing these two problems requires expensive add-on software and hardware.
True enough, the built-in firewall OUGHT to work. But in my case, hackers got in anyway. I had to hire an expensive data recovery guru-another story in itself.
Even reinstalling the program did not solve the problem. My computer was completely compromised. I was eventually forced to junk the machine.
After my dreadful experience with XP Home Edition, I have sworn off Windows forever. Mac and Linux are both far superior.

I'm StoryMaker. Sometimes, Windows XP gives you the XP face. What do I mean? Look at XP sideways. Sometimes, it gives you that face. Sometimes, it gives you the C: face. Look at C: sideways. Well, anyways, something I don't like is it advertises that a wide variety of programs run on it. I don't like that because IT'S NOT TURE. Many programs DO NOT work on Win XP. Petz 3, Petz 4, and Babyz don't work on Win XP inless you do what I explain in my Babyz review. Only something I like about it is it is brighter. Win 95 & 98 are dull with no full-color photo desktops but with XP it's so bright. Next, screen savers. Windows XP & Windows 95-98 all have screen savers, little previews that, when computer not played with enough, show up. To change the SS or preview the SS, right-click the desktop and select "Properties" from the list and click the screen savers tab. They have different screen savers and I am not sure witch I like more. Win 95-98 have "3D Maze", Win XP has lots of 3D shape SS's. And I like how Win XP recognizes Jpegs & Gifs, not Win 95-98. You should buy 1 Win XP and one Win 98/95. Signed, StoryMaker. "Gotta trust the kid's review!"
 Who ever said XP crashes they are WRONG! March 12, 2005

Please don't buy the WinXP upgrade because for one thing I had to renstall it 5 to maybe 6 times and when you do that your harddrive will make sounds. It might make a click sound. I would reccomend the full version of XP. It's so much better!

lies lies xp is not stable and it crashes at the same rate as win- me its obvious that microsoft dident try hard. The meaning of a new release is supposed to be better and go forward, with xp it just went backwards, by far 2000 pro was better. It seems that xp just sacraficed stability, power, and function for a nicer image. I mean it's nice to have a fresh look and good media player but the power that allows you to do anything is...uhh . Xp install is a pain in the but, With problems I dont have room in this form to mention.
Over all i'd say just go with win 2000 pro, but if you just want to leave microsoft's bs and want 100x more power 0 viruses 0 total system crashes and more functional software go linux a FUNCTIONAL open source os.
 Stable, but somewhat not compatible January 21, 2005

Windows XP gives you good compatibility, great security, and wonderful perfomance. The reason I picked 4 stars is because older programs do not work. But the benifits far outweigh the consequences. On the other hand, Linux crashes rarely, but it crashes completely.
