Microsoft Windows XP Professional [Old Version]

And saying this Microsoft appear to have been 99.9% succesful.. Which by any businesses standard is a good achievment.

If you are not particularly computer literate then this is the software for you. It is straight forward and tends to fix most problems for you. And windows update is a must to protect you from the scummy little brats that try to break your computer.

Only one problem ... the price !!!! No wonder microsoft have a problem with piracy.. Ouch ..

I have used both versions of XP the home and professional I recommend the professional do to the fact it has everything the home has and a little more. They are both really easy to use and to navigate around in. The installation process very easy BUT make sure that your computer is compatible before installing or you may run into problems. You can check so at www.microsoft.com for this. Once you install it you soon learnthat every thing starts to run a little better. All in all it is great

MY COMPUTER WAS DESIGNED TO USE ONLY WITH WINDOWS XP ONLY AND NO OTHER READ THE FREAKING "DOCUMENTION" WILL YOUR COMPUTER WORK UNDER WINDOWS XP HOME EDITION OR WINDOWS XP PROFESSIONAL EDITION ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS READ AND MOST PEOPLE LIKE ME I DON'T READ BUT NOW I READ MOSTLY EVERYTHING THAT I BUY ONLINE OR AT A RETAIL STORE.

Most stable OS I've used.   February 4, 2004

Here's a note... if you're going ot buy XP, buy the professional version. It's much more stable and supports more software and hardware than the Home version.

I have used XP for two years, and not once have I had to reformat the hard drive. I have dealt with a few errors, but most of them were fixed by putting in the CD. And it did start crashing, but I finally realized it was faulty RAM, not the OS. (Don't blame the OS first, it's probably the hardware.)

Another sidenote--read the hardware requirements. You need at least 128 megs of RAM, and 600 megahertz.

About a week ago I started using Windows XP Professional so I still don't know all of it's qualities as yet but so far I love it. I moved from Windows '98 Second Edition without any trouble at all.
