Microsoft Windows XP Professional: The best Windows yet still has some room for improvement

Date of Review:  Jan 25, 2006
The Bottom Line: The bottom line has a Commodore 64 with a tape drive!
Review: Microsoft launched its latest operating system in October of 2001. It has been over five years and we still haven t seen a new OS from Microsoft on the market yet. Microsoft has religiously released a new Windows version every two or three years...

If you've got a choice, choose professional over home edition.......

Date of Review:  May 11, 2005
The Bottom Line: XP is a vast improvement over 98, professional is much more stable than Home edition in several areas. MS policy of activation can get aggravating.
Review: I've had windows xp on several machines, home edition that is. Had lots of mysterious little problems with home edition because I change hardware fairly often. The last time I rebuilt my main machine I decided to spring for a copy of professional...

operating what ?

Date of Review:  Jan 10, 2007
The Bottom Line: Use whatever u need . This is not the best ! I`d recommend it to a friend who needs programs with no support on other os !
Review: As long as people don`t know or use any other operating system than Microsoft Windows, does not matter what we write here, when for them is no choice. When all great software producers develop everything almost exclusive for Windows, neglecting...

Best OS for the masses

Date of Review:  Jan 3, 2007
The Bottom Line: If you don't have the time to learn Linux or the applications that your livelihood depend on are slaves to Windows products then XP is THE way to go.
Review: I'm not a huge Bill Gates fan so don't let my title fool you, I am an unwilling slave to Windows products.
However, after struggling for several days to install Fedora4 on one of my computers, I gave up and purchased my third license of Windows...

I have had this for 4 years

Date of Review:  Aug 20, 2007
The Bottom Line: Good for now but Should upgrade with in 2 years to Windows Vista.
Review: Microsoft Windows XP Professional delivers on its title's promise -- is a the best operating system for everyone, not just the experienced professional (as it is noted in a Microsoft book, " XP " stands for " experienced " ). It is based on the...

Windows XP Pro

Date of Review:  Aug 4, 2006
The Bottom Line: If you want a reliable, easy to use Operating system like most people do, Go with Windows XP Professional.
Review: Windows XP Professional offers standard reliability and performance. Windows XP Professional includes all of the features and options as Windows XP Home, and then more.

First, if you currently have Windows 98, Win98SE, or WinME, then you...
