Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Upgrade

Summary: Microsoft's Best OS Yet!
Review: Although I have not used the final release version of Windows XP Professional, I can definately say that Windows XP is Microsoft's finest release of its Windows operating system. Not only does WinXP have a refined interface, it also has improved compatibilty over Windows 2000 and improved reliablity over Windows 9x/ME. There has been some concern over the Product Activation--I honestly do not see what the big deal is--no personal information is being transmitted to Microsoft; only a randomly generated code that contains your computer's hardware configuration (which, chances are, even you don't know!). I definately recommend this product to anyone whose computer has the ability to run it. And, if you do not like the new interface (i.e., the new start menu, taskbar, window title bar, etc.) you can switch it back to display like Windows 2000/NT/ME/9x.

Summary: Excellent OS!!! A+
Review: Microsoft finally did a big jump after introduction of Win95. WinXp has really cool features. Installation is very easy and after you install it you can easily connect to internet. I was using WinME, it had problems related with DOS programs. But, WinXP is better to use old-DOS programs. The "Compatibility Wizard" helps you to run old Windows (win9x) programs if they fail to run under WinXp. The User interface is friendly.
However!!! Windows XP has some disadvantages. First of all it requires 128MB ram and 1.5 GB hard disk to run smoothly. The next problem is WPA. You need to activate your windows in 14 days. When you activate your windows, the CD-KEY you used became a permanent part of your hardware. If you change your computer's hardware too much you will not able to activate from Internet. You need to CALL Microsoft to get some kind of PERMISSION :-((((( . I think this new feature is very unuseful and will harm most of the innocent consumers.
It is up to you to use WinXP, but I like the features except WPA! I will recommend this OS.

Summary: The best operating system "EVER" *period*
Review: I was a little doubtful when I ordered the beta version of Windows XP Professional, thinking it was just another Windows 95/98/Me or even 2000. But when I installed this baby, I was totally shocked... The My Music Folder and My Pictures folders have been totally redesigned! The Windows Media Player 8 is awesome, allowing you to view CD Album Cover art (
Even the Start Menu has been totally redesigned for ease of use... This has to be the best operating system "EVER" *period*... Microsoft did their homework on this one, trust me.
Built in CD burning at 700% faster then Windows ME, as easy as writing to a floppy. For security a built in firewall and a new encrypted file system keeps your stuff safe.
I'd give it 6 stars if I could.

Summary: A Worth-While upgrade.
Review: Finally, a Microsoft upgrade worthy of your hard-earned dollars. For those who skipped Windows 2000 and Windows ME, this is the upgrade you've been waiting for.
By integrating the user-friendliness of the Win9x series with the stability of the NT code, Microsoft has finally created an upgrade that will make you feel like you did when you switched from Win 3.1 to Win95.
From being able to control the PC from anywhere needing only Internet Explorer 4.0 to the much enhanced and tweaked GUI to the simple things, like being able to connect to an online game of checkers with having to do anything special besides clicking an icon. With WindowsXP high compatibility with tons of different hardware and software it blows away Windows 2000. And it's stability surpasses Windows ME by leaps and bounds.
I can guarantee, WindowsXP will give you the most bang for your buck and may even perhaps build up your confidence that Microsoft can build an excellent OS after all.

Summary: Great OS from Microsoft
Review: As a member of Microsoft's Preview Program, I have been testing the Release Candidate Two version of Windows XP. Even as a release candidate, the code is fairly stable; obviously, the RTM code will incorporate bug fixes found in RC 2. However, my feeling is this product is more for the hard core techie geek. Current home users of Windows 98, Windows ME, or Windows 2000 will not really have any reason to upgrade to this version. For the gearheads who need the latest and greatest, XP is certainly worth the upgrade, especially for those gearheads running Windows 2000. XP offers the same security features as 2000, and is compatible with more software titles than 2000, which makes it a better gaming platform. I was able to fire up old DOS-based titles under XP that I could not under any other OS. The GUI, which looks a bit like the standard Windows desktop, does function differently, and takes some time to get used to. Technically, XP is a major overhaul for the Windows operating system, not seen since the debut of Windows 95. However, I only recommend it for the hard-core techies out there. The average user will be fine with their existing operating system.

Summary: Windows XP Professional
Review: This is the BEST version of Windows yet - it is more stable and compatible than prior versions. I LOVE IT! I have the beta and cannot wait to get my finished copy. The Professional version lets you take advantage of so many more things than Home. This Windows is a MUST HAVE!

Summary: Microsoft's best OS
Review: Windows XP greets you with a stunning new look and feel. The Start Menu has been re-designed to allow you easy access to all your applications and the clutter that once existed on the taskbar has now been removed. Windows now *knows* what you want it todo; your most common tasks are convienently placed in a list next to each folder. The OS will not crash, because it now runs on XP. Weather you are an advanced user, or a novice, you will appreciate all the changes Microsoft has made in this release of Windows.
