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....

XP home - A touch of genius

Advantages: More stable
Disadvantages: Not as secure as XP PRO

...Windows Xp Home is the great operating system microsoft have promised for years and when it finally arrives it turns out they've actually done what they said they would which is to make a great opeating system. It works well with most new PC's and has hardley any problems with hardware compatibility, but if you want to find out if it will work for your pc then microsoft offer a compatibility test. It is by far the most stable version of windows yet which is great because I could not stand alll those crashes which plauged the earlier microsoft operating systems. It is very easy to set up and add user names and passwords. The control panel has been simplified into groups and there are lots of controls in place to stop you from breaking anything, but these can get quite annoying. It has great support offered and an automatic update...

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...

XP. The new generation

Advantages: Excellent multimedia functionality
Disadvantages: Incompatible drivers, software and hardware

...When Microsoft built it’s first operating system over 15 years ago, I sometimes wonder if, even in their wildest dreams, they thought it would become such a market force and the main o/s to be used on the majority of the world’s computers. Yet, today they are producing the next generation of operating system. One for the future that can interact with all modern media types and formats as well as combining the retro engineering needed to make programs of yesteryear work correctly. However, being a user of both of their current up to date systems, im not totally convinced that even they are on top of the diverse and sometimes incompatible world of mixed technologies. Im going to talk here about Windows XP. You have probably got this installed at home or at least heard about it if you have bought your computer within...

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

To XP or Not To XP...That Is The Question

Advantages: see review
Disadvantages: see review

...for home use but was instead the update to Microsoft's technical operating system Windows NT, Windows XP IS the update we have all been waiting for. The changes made to this system are too many to mention, it is effectively a complete overhaul of the whole idea behind windows - at least under the hood, changes which most of us won't notice or even care about but which will result in massive and very noticeable performance enhancements - trust me. However, before you can even think of running XP there are a few rather hefty system requirements that this operating system requires of your PC - many of us aren't going to be able to deal with it without an upgrade. These are most notably: At least a 300MHz processor A recommended 128MB+ of RAM although it supports 64MB but with a performance downgrade 1.5GB of available hard disk space...

Upgrading from Windows ME to XP Home

Advantages: stable o/s, easy to upgrade
Disadvantages: possible long download times to update if you have a slow Internet connection

.... Nowadays I have a machine at home running Windows XP Home and a laptop from work (I travel a bit) running Windows 2000 Professional. I took some advice from our IT staff at work, who recommended Windows XP as a relatively stable platform, echoing my own thoughts. They were also able to confirm that it should be possible to ?upgrade? (loading the new software directly) rather than to start from scratch by formatting the hard disc and losing all the other programs and user data already on the machine. RESEARCH Web-based searches indicated that, to use Windows XP Home Edition, there is a minimum system requirement: PC with 300 MHz or higher processor clock speed recommended; 233 MHz minimum required;* Intel Pentium/Celeron family, AMD K6/Athlon/Duron family, or compatible processor recommended 128 MB RAM or higher recommended (64MB...
