Microsoft Windows XP Professional: The best Windows yet still has some room for improvement

byGr8ful Jan 25, 2006
42 Helpfuls 43 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Secure, stable,automatically updates itself and great compatibility
Cons Too many updates. Activation and re-activation can be a pain sometimes.
Recommended it? Yes

Microsoft launched its latest operating system in October of 2001. It has been over five years and we still haven't seen a new OS from Microsoft on the market yet. Microsoft has religiously released a new Windows version every two or three years since 1992, so why the big delay in a new Operating... Read full review »

Cons Activation requirement can be a pain if you change hardware.
Recommended it? Yes

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. Microsoft would have you believe that home edition... Read full review »

Cons weak to viruses, bad file system, not open. to easy, intended to keep people dumb.
Recommended it? Yes

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 those open source operating systems, then what can u... Read full review »

Cons -Hardware Changes Can Get Annoying -Some Registry Glitches May Occur And Be Permanent

This is a great operating system. Although more hacks, viruses, and problems have been recorded throughout it's history, It's less glitchy than mac, And much more easier than linux. I recommend this operating system, And I'm sure a massive amount of others do as well. Read full review »

Pros I like it cause it always gets updated.
Cons I don't like that it doesn't have driver support for all hardware install.
Recommended it? Yes

Microsoft Windows XP Professional delivers on its title's promise -- is a the best operating system for everyone, not just the experienced professional (as it is noted in a Microsoft book, " XP " stands for " experienced " ). It is based on the Windows NT and Windows 2000 code, and not the Windows... Read full review »

Pros extremely easy to install easier than Linux to manage applications and data
Cons still plagued with regular updates that aren't always beneficial.
Recommended it? Yes

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 XP Pro.
It is the easiest to install by far... Read full review »

Do you want to buy XP when VISTA is out?

bygeoffart Jul 21, 2007
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros efficient and reliable; people I speak to have still not migrated away
Cons not as secure as vista
Recommended it? Yes

Do you want to buy XP when VISTA is out? Now that VISTA is out I think it would be hard to review XP, without a brief mention about the obvious alternative - VISTA.

XP is still a very good OS, it looks and feels similar to VISTA on the outside, but isn't really when you consider what's on... Read full review »

Pros Uses a significantly less amount of system resources than Windows Vista
Cons The graphics are not as nice as vista, but runs faster.

As of now it is working perfectly. I like the speed and the graphics. I have yet to get any blue error screens. I have this operating system on all of my computers and have not had any problems. Unlike Microsoft windows 98 where I had several errors and immense memory and speed issues. I would... Read full review »
