Review From: DJ, Jun 24, 2004
Aside from the abominable Windows ME,
windows has steadily improved in each
consecutive release. XP is an
extraordinarily stable system that is
enough of a departure from the 95-98
gui that I had to do a little research
to familiarize myself with the more
technical admistrative tasks but not
so much as to be overwhelming at all.
The system recovery is phenominal and
I cannot recall ever having to reboot
due to locking-up. This on a machine
that, running Windows ME, had to be re-
booted several times a day running
essentially the same programs. This is
a home office PC.
Extreme multi-tasking, which often
crippled ME and was the main reason
98SE would, on rare occasion, crash,
is handled with ease by XP.
Setting up a WI-FI home network with
XP was done easily with the XP GUI.
However, the interface with units
still running ME was not easily
established and was only resolved by
upgrading ALL PC's in the home to XP.
Which is actually a GOOD thing but of
concern to anyone not in a position do
install XP on all PC's in a network.
I have come to rely on this product
and recommend it for home office and
personal PC users without any
hesitation.

Review From: Jack, Dec 23, 2005
Not bad but still needs a lot of work. Hard to keep it cleaned up, programs leave junk files all over it that never go away. The Registry also fills up with junk and is difficult and dangerous to clean up. Impossible to completely remove most programs. Security is weak, hackers find it easy to break into. Must buy extra programs to clean it up and help with security. XP Home is at least fairly stable and much better than previous versions and I rarely get the "blue screen of death" but it still is only okay. I wish more companies would provide hardware and application support for Linux which is a much better operating system.

Windoze crashed my entire hard disk, causing me to cash out $200 for a new hard disk.

Review From: Chris, Jan 10, 2005
Very, Very Stable! This OS is the
srongest Operating System out due to
its strength of running more programs
at one time and its USB feature. It is
the strongest and most secure. You can
do much more thing with XP than any
other OS. Win 2000 is the next best for
servers!

On the plus side, XP Home is decidedly
more stable than the 95/98/ME line
(though perhaps less so that 2000) and
offers excellent device (what widget
maker doesn't support Windows?) and game
support.
On the negative side, however, is much
more. Microsoft intentionally crippled
the software, leaving out or severely
limiting critical features like network
file sharing or anything that looks even
vaguely like a "server" feature (to
protect even higher margins on their
"higher end" operating systems).
Worse, they are pushing "management
services" into the infrastructure to
ensure you can't exercise your rights to
make backup copies, share personal
files, etc., on the assumption that most
of their customers are criminals. (Yes,
I received two threatening letters from
the Business Software Alliance, even
though I'm fastidious about license
compliance.)
Compared to the greater capability and
stability (not to mention lower price)
of products like Linspire, Mac OS X,
Suse, or Mandrake, the only rationale
for buying this product is if the game
or device you just HAVE to use runs only
with this product.

Review From: Don, Oct 1, 2003
My review is indictated in the
summary. Here I will give a bit of
advice if this is an upgrade from
95/98. It's entirely different from
earlier operating systems. It isn't
installed the same way, it doesn't
look the same way, and you interface
with it in an entirely different way.
To save a little frustration when you
start with it, read some articles on
it in the net. Get slightly familiar
with it before you install it. Once
you "figure it out," you will love it!

this system is always locking up, when
trying to operate this system, surfing
the web, or doing what ever, after a
few minutes, the system locks up..
