Summary: The new Windows XP
Review: The first thing I noticed about Windows XP, was the brilant colors and how it was alike to msn. But Windows XP is much more than an eye catcher, it has new features that make it a must have. Windows XP is VERY user frendly. It lets you custimize almost anything you want. New DVD/Video software is included too, for people who have digital capturing devices. But even with all that, they have enhanced proformance, and protection. One of the biggest problems people had in older versions of windows, was frequent freezing. With windows XP, that rarly happens at all. Your sure to find even more exciting new features in Windows XP. And surprising, the Home Edition Upgrade is only $...! I highly recomend this product for anyone who owns a computer.

Summary: Wondering what happened to the Blue Screen of Death?
Review: If anyone is wondering if Microsoft has just made a few touch ups to Windows Me and has just packaged it to look much nicer and more appealing you have another thing coming to you. I have been beta testing the new Microsoft OS Windows XP and I must say that it is the most stable Windows OS that I have ever come across besides Windows 3.1 and NT. This OS is built on an Windows NT platform and really stable and fast. Take it that you have a fast processor, big hard drive, and a large amount of ram. But you can buy all those things and get the machine of your dreams. The look and features of Windows XP is amazing. Great Stability, Speed, and overall use. Being able to burn files to cd with a CDRW without even installing the CDRW software. Windows XP has a built in burning software, built in firewall protection, that you just have to enable. And so far so good for me I haven't faced the "Blue Screen of DEATH" since installing the beta. And come on... this is just a beta and Its stable, fast, and excellent...

Summary: Windows done right
Review: I have used Windows since 3.1 era, and what a revolutionary OS Windows XP is! With its improved kernel based on NT, it provides stability and speed tremendously.
I am a college student, so I mainly use it for word processing, internet, and games. I must say that by far this is the best windows. It has the best worlds of Win98 and Windows2000.
Although some games might not run too well, it's mainly due to premature drivers. You can opt to run applications in following modes for maximun compatibility: WIndows95, WIndows98/ME. and Windows 2000. Multimedia wise, it's all integrated on the system, so its a cinch to play MP3 files, to burning a CD.
Props to MS!Professional edition offers more robust networking options and few more multimedia enhancements.

Summary: At Last Microsoft Software that really WORKS
Review: After struggling with Windows 95/98/2000 I was ready to kick myself for even considering installing windows XP RC1 but am I glad I did. This Windows is the one, a no brainer install, unheard of hardware and software compatibility (if it does not work XP lets you know in advance or makes it work for you) and XP actually found updates for my software and hardware that was not Microsoft. With Win98 my cd burner constantly crashed, with XP no crashes or errors and my copy speed have improved. I have used XP RC1 and RC2 for about two months and my computer has not locked up or crashed once (compared to Win 98's daily freeze). Because I use my computer for business and personal the option to switch users without logging off allows me to work on a project while also planning my garden, search for a meal plan or send an instant message to my daughter.
To conclude Windows XP is the most stable Microsoft product I have ever used. I like the cleaner user interface and the new help center that can be configured to search for help on other web pages. My only concern was about the new XP activation. I have had to reactivate once because of a system failure but as long as Microsoft continues to provide a toll-free number along with the considerate customer support I received I do not see a problem with calling to request a new key after major system changes.
Congratulations Microsoft you have finally lived up to all the hype you have feed the public for so many years.

Summary: WINDOWS XP
Review: I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO THE FULL RELEASE OF WINDOWS XP. I HAVE BEEN RUNNING WINDOWS XP RC2 FOR A COUPLE OF MONTHS,THE INSTALL PROCESS WAS VERY EASY AND USER FRIENDLY. XP DETECTED HARDWARE WITH NO PROBLEMS. I FOUND THE DESKTOP TO BE A NICE REFRESHING CHANGE. HOW EVER, I FOUND IT A LITTLE HARD TO USE AT FIRST ONLY BECAUSE SOME FEATURES THAT YOU HAVE BECOME USED TO, HAVE BEEN LOCATED IN DIFFERANT AREAS OF XP. SO SOME SEARCHING NEEDED TO BE DONE TO FIND SOME FEATURES IN XP. ONE OTHER CONCERN I HAVE IS XP'S COMPATABILITY WITH GAMES & OTHER SOFTWARE. I DID LOAD NORTON ANTIVIRUS 2000 AND FOUND THAT NORTON DID NOT LIKE XP AND DID NOT WANT TO WORK PROPERLY. I AM A GAMER BUT HAVE NOT HAD THE TIME YET TO LOAD SOME GAMES AND TRY THEM. I WILL EVENTUALLY SOON. OVER ALL, OUNCE I GOT THE FEEL FOR NAVIGATING XP I FOUND WINDOWS NEW OS TO BE A VERY PLEASING XPERIANCE.

Summary: Who needs it?
Review: First let me say that I didn't rate this product 2 stars because of its quality. Read my review of Windows XP Home Edition and you'll see that I consider Windows XP of being a great product. But this Professional Edition was a real bad idea. Who is supposed to buy it? The current Windows 98/ME users? Certainly not. They will settle for the Home Edition because it's much less expensive and they won't need the few additonal features. The current Windows 2000 users? Why should they upgrade again after just one year - they already have an almost perfect operating system! The improvements from Win 2K to Win XP Pro don't justify the high upgrade price. Windows XP has the internal version number 5.1, Win 2K had 5.0 - anything else to say? And the new UI (the only visible new thing) will annoy most professional users, they'll switch it back and basically have the same OS as before. The current Windows NT users? OK, it would be time for them to think about buying new software, but why did they not purchase Windows 2000? Because their hardware was too old to support it. So if they decide to buy new PC's Windows XP Pro would be their way to go, and it will be pre-installed on every new PC in just a few weeks.
