Rating: Summary: Ambiguous Review: In the system requirements link on Amazon for this product the upgradable OS are :
"Upgrade for users of Microsoft Windows 98, 98 SE, Me, or 2000"
Great! What about users of XP Home Edition - we all know it CAN be upgraded inplace but will this paticular upgrade product do it?
answers on a postcard.
Rating: Summary: Windows XP....THE BEST OS EVER Review: Windows XP Professional is the best operating system ever, however, I do not reccommend the Home Edition version, it is too limited. I also reccommend Microsoft Office 2003 Professional Edition along with XP, because it will increase your performance.
Windows XP certianly looks different, because of the new design. Ideal for home and professional users, while your at home making a business card, or if you are at the office. It can handle Hyper Threading, as well as advanced applications.
Windows XP rarely crashes, and if it does, it is not the whole OS, but just a program, and it is so easy to close. Then, just simply restart the application and you are back up and running.
Windows XP is very easy to install; just pop in the CD, answer a few simple questions, and your done in just forty-five minutes!
Windows XP is a valid upgrade for users of any Windows Operating System, weather it be 2000, 98, ME, 95, XP Home, or NT, XP will increase your performance and make you overall happier!
Rating: Summary: Windows XP Professional Review: I have been a freelance translator for the past 15 years; and as such, was forced to learn how to operate a computer at a rather advanced age. That was during 1990. I started with a plain little computer, no WYSIWYG. . .and I can't even remember what the operating system was, but it was, most assuredly built by Bill Gates and was not yet "Windows". I have FINALLY GRADUATED to this WONDERFUL version of Windows. . Windows XP Professional, the zenith of operating systems. I assure anyone who is reading this, that it is a most worthwhile investment. No more crashes. The computer even TELLS YOU when it has "indigestion". I love it. I cannot believe how good it is. I recommend it most heartily to everyone. You will certainly not be sorry once you load it on to your computer.
Rating: Summary: THERE SHOULD E A NEGATIVE RATING ALLOWED Review: Where to begin with this tumerous mound of bloated software? In the beginning (before all the security problems were found - and continue, sometimes several times a day) XP home ran well. Now, no doubt, large chunks of code have been patched, re-patched and entirely replaced.The result is this rotting pile of dung that goes sooooo slowly. Unlike other notorious monopolists, Gates trumpets his great innovation. (...). Each and every product of Microsoft is either a look back (often to Apple) or a buy-in. Each and every MS initiative (remember.NET?; remember XBOX?) has been a failure. Gates spends billions to produce technological failures. XP is the most glaring example of this. Gates would do well to XPlode XP and start over.
Rating: Summary: Very Stable OS. Review: Windows XP has been the best OS from Microsoft yet. It is not perfect, but it does not crash very often. I'm running XP on 3 computers that are networked. My laptops came with XP, but my desk top came with Windows 98, which was not very stable (it crashed daily). I tried using ME, but that was the worst operating system ever. Upgrading my older Compaq 667MH Celeron was very easy with XP. I downloaded a XP compatibility checker before installing XP to see what software and drivers were compatable. Downloaded the required updates and Windows XP installed very easy. XP is very easy when it comes to upgrading and installing new hardware. I highly recommend a clean installation when upgrading. Saves a lot of headaches. Also beware that a lot of software that you use with 95,98,and ME are not compatible with XP. I also recommend having atleast 256MB RAM. The reason I will not give Microsoft XP 5 Stars is that MS does not allow installation on more than one computer and having to activate the product. I'm buying the software to use as I need, not as Microsoft wants me to use it. That's like purchasing a Music CD and having to get a activation code and only being allowed to play on your home CD player. Are you listening MR. Gates????????????????????????????
