What's great about it:?Very compatible, relatively secure, and very efficient What's not so great:?You should get XP Home instead, dx10 might be important someday, it's also tough to be a limited user "XP is great and will be supported for years and years to come because of the ultra-portable notebooks that cannot use Vista. Everything works with XP, and that includes the software to secure it properly. from Bestbuy.com Pros: Robust compatibility Cons: Vague error messages The Bottom Line: This OS is sure to keep going strong until a new Windows is released. Even if you want the latest and greatest, the OS will do what you need. from Shopping.com What's great about it:?Good Looks, Nice business-related Features What's not so great:?Security isn't as good as Vista "Windows XP is the best version of Windows for home and small business owners. It's stable, has good software support, and pretty much all devices have drivers for it since it's the dominant OS at the moment in the USA. from Bestbuy.com Pros: works in business enviroment, more capable than home. Cons: costs too much for upgrade, 99 would be more reasonable imho. microsoft support for mce is buggy sometimes, pro is better. from Newegg.com Pros: Not much to say, other than it works. I use this in order to run a few older programs that I have. Cons: Activation Other Thoughts: XP is XP works very well. I have not had much trouble with Windows over the years as some have. from Newegg.com Pros: Best Microsoft Operating system, I've had no major problems with XP. Excellent GUI for beginners and advanced users. from Newegg.com upgrading has never been easier! Don't want to jump into Vista just yet but tired of 98? Even if you have XP home, upgrading to Pro will give you better stability and more access! from Amazon.com No One could get me to buy a Vista operating system until at least the first upgrade. Win xp Pro is the best thing going. from Amazon.com I'm still hanging on to the idea that technical products should not require assistance from technical support in order to get them working... In this case the support "although very good" still took a week or so to help me iron out a problem with "windows update" after the install.. This may sound a little whiney to all of you who have made an adaptation to getting stuff that works "sort-of" but, I do from time to time manage to get some pretty impressive software/hardware that works the first time I try it... from Amazon.com Pros: Good operating system, easy to install Cons: Price, needed an additional license. Called Microsoft and they charged me $200. What no discount? from Newegg.com
