Pros: Very stable, lots of options and flexibility, Product Activation not so onerous.
Cons: Not compatible with some older programs and hardware.
The Bottom Line: If your older programs and hardware are not vital it is a worthwhile upgrade that will greatly improve your PC and computing experience.

by firebird1 , Oct 7, 2005
Pros: easier to install than linux, newest OS
Cons: BLOATED. Lots of eyecandy. Performance is hurt by both.
The Bottom Line: Well until a newer Windows OS comes out we are pretty much stuck with this one. I have seen worse OS (ME comes to mind) easier to install than Linux
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: I have worked with many operating systems from DOS 2.0 on up to XP and with a few OS that are not of the Microsoft family. It seems that just as fast as computers make another step forward then the OS takes a giant leap forward... or is it backward...
