Summary: could be better!
Review: XP is one of the worst investments I've made. It eats up memory badly, frustrating to install, and you have to reformat some of your currently loaded programs, and some of your programs may not even run again. I want '98 back. DEFINITELY NOT MADE FOR LAPTOPS! Plus, if you want assistance from Microsoft, you have to pay $... and it's hard to get assistance in the first place.

Summary: Windows XP does no Harm
Review: I don't know why all of these people say such negative comments about Microsoft XP. I mean I have to admit all these people scared me about upgrading this on my computer, but there was no reason. I just follwed the instructions and the setup took about 70 mintues. No biggie. The result was great, it's a fresher, faster and better new version of Microsoft. This product it definetly worth it. The only con that I did have though is that my printer isn't working and I have to get somebody out here to fix it. So forget the negative comments--use my and advice and don't be afraid to upgrade it on your computer.

Summary: Not as rosy as it looks!!
Review: I bought the upgrade thinking that they solved their previous bugs and I got disappointed. The way they do away with the crashes is this: it won't let you open more than a few windows at a time (in my case 5). also, I keep getting popping messages reminding me to check for updates and other junk (very annoying).
After I updated to quiet down the messages, I got a frozen window. I had to do the usual CRT ALT DEL and it worked, but the window didn't dissapeared from the desktop. It was broken into pieces in the background and there was no way to get rid of it. I have to say that it has nice colors and a airport woman voice in their 'tour'. The repeating subliminal (windows) messages are all over the place enough to drive me crazy. One of their messages should say: warning, remove all baseball bats from your room before use.

Summary: Hackers Break Through XP Security - Nation-wide
Review: After seeing the front page of my newspaper "Hackers Break Through XP Security", I have serious doubts about the quality of the repair patch Microsoft has released. Could it be rushed out to save embarrassment? Will it eliminate hacking? Can I trust it?
And what about the government's Back Door to the operating system?

Summary: Give me Linux
Review: After using XP for on week, I have decided to leave MS operating systems altogether. I know the learning curve on the Linux OS will be steep for me but I am willing to deal with that, rather than deal with MS, their bugged software, and their arrogance in taking for granted that all customers will copy their software. I don't like having to get their permission to add peripherals or to re-install the system. I say it's time for people to make a thoughtful decision to not depend on MS's arrogance any longer.

Summary: But It Doesn't Look Different
Review: Perhaps I've become so jaded that all Windows systems now look the same. I'm ashamed to say just what was the first version of Windows I used but I will go on record stating that I have owned Windows 95, 98, ME and now XP. As it is an Upgrade, I suppose that's why there is no significant difference once I get going. On the plus side however, there is a big improvement on starting up. It loads almost immediately. Negatives? Well, what you gain in booting up, you lose in logging off. It is the slowest process yet! And XP did not find either my PALM Pilot or my Iomega Zip drive although both have been attached to the computer since Windows 98. Is it different? No. It looks, feels and acts the same. Is it better? Well, it seems to me that Windows ME managed to get the crash bugs out of it so here's hoping that this version is just as reliable. But I wouldn't have noted this as a major improvement over previous versions so, if you're happy with 98, 2000 or ME, don't expect this to be the Promised Land.

Summary: impressed
Review: I hadn't heard anything about XP prior to using it. Little Ole' me was satisfied with Win98-2nd Ed. XP came preinstalled on my new P4 and its a whole new experience. I'm very surprised. Downside is that one gets very used to the &#%backward Win98 system and may have to actually take the XP Tour and Tutorial to even realize how dark ages Win98 really was. I did. Another downside is compatibility. Since most software packages, games and input devices haven't been completely tested as XP compatible, you'll either have to ingnore compatibility issues (this seems to work) or wait for your software to be upgraded.
