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...

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...

Stable, Reliable and Dependable

Review: Microsoft XP Pro edition is one of the best operating systems on the market. It's very reliable, stable and dependable. It's easy to update and maintain. It's also very easy to navigate through, unlike some of the older Windows versions.

Date of Review:  Mar 25, 2007
Review: Microsoft Windows XP is facing its end in a few years. Undoubtly its predessor Vista will overcome it.

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...
