Pros: very stable
Cons: cartoon look, little hardware support,doesn't like older computers

Since I have been a windows 2000 user and grew to appreciate the stability of the NTFS file system, I thought that I would upgrade my windows 9x systems to XP home.

Pros: Runs smoothly, looks good and user friendly
Cons: Takes getting used to

I do not pretend to know all the technical mumbo jumbo about computers, I just use them. I have used everything from Windows 4.0 to those terrible Mac's (sorry but there are two kinds of people in the world, Mac users and PC users no offense). I have...

Pros: Nice interface; easy to use; great features to enhance networking and CD-writing abilities
Cons: Some companies have yet to update drivers; takes up to 1GB of hard drive

After many years of fixing a broken product, the people at Microsoft have decided to start anew with a generation of operating systems that is sure to please all users. I personally use Windows XP Home Edition and I must say, I am impressed with the...

Cons: Takes a long time to install, unless your using RIS installation for multiple copies

I just upgraded to XP on my dual boot machine previousy running Windows 2000 pro and Advanced server 2000,. All I did was upgrade from the professional OS to XP. It took quite a while to load, almost an hour and a half. But the wait was worth it. This...

Pros: Reliability, crash resistant, fast, updated drivers

PURPOSE
I purchased Windows XP because my computer was running bad with many problems on Windows 98. It got to the point where I had to reformat my hard disc because Explorer had some problems. After I did this, I could not get all the...

Pros: Attractive interface, relatively stable, better than previous versions if you can afford the processing power
Cons: Expensive, large resource load, slow, search function almost useless, product activation

Windows XP has a pretty interface. It is also the most stable version of Windows. The first thing you will notice with Windows XP is the interface overhaul - all the menus were skinned in blue and green instead of the conventional grey, white, and ...

Pros: No crashes yet and speeds up my system
Cons: Re-Remembering where things are. Adaptec CD Creator doesn't work.

You know, Microsoft has had a habit of making me go out and empty my pockets and stress my mind and abilities to the limits throughout the last ten years. 95 was better than 3.1 and 98 had a big brother 2nd edition fix (and get charged for) problems...

Pros: Firewall,automatic upgrades for Windows Software and hardware and other software.
Cons: CDSoftware won't burn MP3 format, bootup seems fast but programs still take time to load

I installed the full version of Windows XP Professional Edition about a month aog and I love it. It's got a few quircks though. The first one I encountered is that because of the new platform some of my programs did not work with it. (i.e. Any version of...

What made me install it?

I did not take much interest on installing it, until I heard of people talking about the incompatibility issues regarding the hardwares like modems and sound cards. I am the one who is usually helping friends...

Pros: Looks nicer
Cons: Still Windows

So they give me XP here at work because it more stable/secure..blah blah blah. This is right on the heels of giving me NT becuase it was the most stable/secure...whatever. The computer guy told me we were going to XP because it was new. It's nice to...

Pros: User-friendly interface
Cons: Can only install it once, then it locks up forever.

My husband was so excited when Windows XP Home Edition hit the market, he ran right out and purchased one. However, therein lies my problem: he only purchased one. Since we have 3 computers on a home network, he thought we would do as we had done with...

Pros: Easy to use,OSX-like GUI,NT kernal

Yet again we see a new version of windows released by Microsoft. With this version we have seen stability increased, unlike in previous versions stability seems to be a bigger factor for Microsoft.

Among the problems that i have encountered...

Pros: Fast, Looks Very Nice, Features up the wazoo
Cons: Not compatible with some games, just read the opinion

I got XP with a new computer about a month ago.

Good-
The stability is so good it scares me! Things that would have previously KILLED my old computer don't have an effect (e.g. having to exit a game without shutting the game down) I...
