Review of Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition w/SP2 Complete package

Windows Xp Home Edition

Advantages: Easy to use, Main operating system, Great help available
Disadvantages: Prone to viruses, still some bugs

...Windows XP, my one and only ever operating system! I have tried Mac and tried Vista on other computers, and i don't think they compare to XP! Vista is trying to be an Apple product, and i don't think you can enjoy a mac after years of Microsoft!!! I love all the hidden features of it and trying to figure stuff out with it! Admittedly its a very dated OS nowadays but millions of computers still use it! It's a powerful operating system and it's good at what it does! Fair enough there are bugs in it still that need to be eliminated, and it is prone to viruses unlike an Apple Macintosh but i think what XP needs more than anything is a second release, exactly how it is but with all the bugs eliminated! XP2 =] Because no amount of Special Packet updates can fix an operating system! It needs to be independently and professionally improved...

Nice System- Windows XP Home Edition

Advantages: safty, easy to use.
Disadvantages: no much features.

...this is a very nice product, easy to use, have been use it alot of time. product with a reasonable price, which is afordable for most ppl. it is a very safty system, I do not use extra firewall to protect my computer. the revert system is very helpful, when your system does not works well, you can easily sort it out by reverting your system to the back. home edition does not have so many features as the professional edition, but it is enough for personal use, and the price is much cheaper than the professional. SP2 is emphasis on the safty of system in my understanding, i kept upgrade every week, and I surf on net everday, but have never get spyware from internet. The only disadvantage is the there is no much features on this system, it is not beautiful as some other systems....

Microsoft Windows Xp home with SP2

Advantages: easy to run, is compatible with most software
Disadvantages: bug prone, easily becomes unstable

...a complicated proccess. The improved search features in XP are ok, but i have heard better things about the index searching in Vista . The default settings within search are not very well setup if you are trying to work at a deper level than just seearching your my documents folder, this is becuase "seaching in system and hidden folders" is disabled as default. This may, however, just be a personal thing i have with Windows as i feel it is more sutied to users who are not overly competent with computers, although there are tools out there that allow you to edit win xp, for the more technological savvy of you out there!. I would strongly reccomend that you purchase a specific security suite, to replace the windows firewall system as, in my experience, it is not very effective and is very crude in its settings and config. Its only use i found...

Windows - XP, A life.

Advantages: Slighty more secure, everything is made to work on it
Disadvantages: Its windows, unstable.

..., which you could pick up for free in magazines, or download. Problems lay because some programs that where designed with XP in mind were not flexible enough to cope with the changes that were made to the system when this new service pack was installed. The majority of problems I have heard about or encountered relate to the internet, alot of ISP programs did not seem to like the new settings, and of course with no connection, getting support for the problems was kinda tricky. This is why Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2 was introduced, it was a way to solve problems for people because if it was pre installed with XP than any configuration errors could not happen as nothing had previously been conflicted. (Try saying that 5 times when your drunk!!) Anyway, enough of the background to the product, let me start my actual review...

Experience Windows XP!

Advantages: Many features, reliable, OEM version is priced well.
Disadvantages: Vista is out, DX10 not supported (not currently an issue)

...Windows XP is the most commonly used version of Microsofts popular Windows operating system or OS. It is feature packed and has low requirements so it will run on most PCs. The Look Microsoft has really jazzed Windows XP up compared to the previous dull grey looks of Windows 2000. As soon as you boot into the Windows interface you will be greeted with a friendly blue Welcome screen with the colourful new Windows logo. To begin you simply click your username, which will be displayed along with a little picture of your choice, you can pick from a car, frog to a cute dog or add your own picture if you prefer. Once you have entered your password and clicked the green enter button you will be taken to the new Windows Desktop. Here the new look is also in full effect as we get a new blue Taskbar with a bright green Start button, along...

Review of Windows XP Home Edition Upgrade with Service Pack 2

windows xp... the way forward.

Advantages: it is fast and realiable and safe.
Disadvantages: none yet.

...Most of us will have heard of Microsoft, wether it is from playing there games, to using there operating system, and we may as well say, every pc you buy in any shop in the high street now adays has a Microsoft operating system installed in it. we have gone from the very very old 3.1 Windows version, upto windows 95, through windows 98, upgrading to windows 98se, and them windows millenium edition, and we are now at windows xp. i am guessing that all home personal computers will have Microsoft xp - Home Edition installed on it, so i am guessing you know what this operating system is. it is basically what makes your pc operational, as in software terms, because without a os, or Operating System, your pc would just sit there idel, twiddling its thumbs and fingers. So Windows xp is one of the latest operating systems around, there...

Windows Xp - Im Indifferent!

Advantages: very good stability
Disadvantages: Not Good for advanced users

...Installing XP I booted off the CD, and started the install, which looked A LOT like Window NT 4?s install to start, but got VERY colorful and GIU-ish as I moved farther into the installation. Installing took me... about 45 minutes on my 1.4GHz AMD Duron with 512MB of RAM. Not bad, once you see how XP is. Booting XP First, I see my video card display information, and then it moves to my BIOS... XP begins to boot?it says ?Microsoft WindowsXP? and has a NEW flag, and blue bars scrolling around. Having plenty of RAM, those blue bars only get almost one time around, before mines done, but I?ve seen 1.8GHz Celerons with 128MB RAM go about 22 times around there before it finished booting. Using Windows XP! XP now has a HORRIBLE welcome screen, where you can put in your username and password. This is UGLY! I chose administrator...

Windows XP

Advantages: Tried + tested
Disadvantages: Windows Vista soon?

...Lets face it - 90% of PC users use a Microsoft OS (operating system). The vast majority of those will be using XP. So you're not exactly going to be alone if you do decide to buy this. So, is it a good idea to go with the masses? Yes. Unless you are really techy and know software and hardware as if it were your job. Then you might plump for Linux or something similar. XP was released ages ago - about 2000 if memory serves correctly. As someone who started out on DOS, moved to windows 3.x, then Windows 98 and then XP (via Millenium for about 1 month ;) ) then I've had a history with OS's. XP is by far the most reliable - providing you do things properly then there is generally no problem. If you are completely just after something that you are not going to fiddle with then - no problems. If you are likely to uninstall...
