Windows XP without the pain!

bysj_zero Mar 31, 2005

Pros Greatest windows security ever, easy to use, lots of new features over older versions.
Cons Drains more system resources than old versions, may not really be needed.
Recommended it? Yes

Windows XP Home edition with Service Pack 2 is the same Windows XP Home released three years ago, patched with Service Pack 2 applied, for better or for worse.

The first thing that must be said is that you do NOT need to purchase Windows XP Home if you don't have Service Pack 2. You can... Read full review »

XP doesn't GET trojans, it IS a trojan!

Pros Pretty!
Cons Bad product. Bad company.
Recommended it? No

I'll start with the good news. Windows XP is a tremendous improvement over the old Win 9x series of OS's. It is visually attractive, boasts more features, is easy to use, and, most importantly, is much more stable than previous versions of Windows. The infamous "Blue Screen of Death" is largely a...

Not the best... Not the worst

Pros Windows XP with PROS?! Okay, so it's compatible with everything...
Cons Pokey after some time, Virus Prone, unstable...
Recommended it? No

The Era of Windows XP came around the time Windows 2000 was just catching on... I myself had been a Windows ME user (Ugh) for nearly a year by the time XP came out. Being myself, I skeptically took Windows XP as what most Microsoft products were -- bad. However, after realizing the imense number of... Read full review »

To Window or not to Window?

byanderson_uk Mar 5, 2005
11 Helpfuls 12 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros It's Windows, slightly more secure
Cons It's Windows, still insecure
Recommended it? Yes

My op is on the OEM version.

###Intro###

Windows is probably the most successful operating systems, software that runs software, ever.

Naturally, because of this most software is for Windows, but also most viruses/hackers are too.

Windows XP, Is it Worth it?

byfizzer Jun 22, 2009
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Fast, Reliable, Well Built, Stable
Cons Picks up un-needed information, needs a good security software to protect behind it
Recommended it? Yes

  Windows XP is a very fast operating system. Without hogging up your RAM this operating system loads what you want it to in little wait. I bought this product shortly after it came out in order to upgrade to the new windows model. Don't let this operating system fool you, while the graphics may... Read full review »

Bill Gates doesn't own my disk!

byBourbonBob Nov 21, 2005
9 Helpfuls 10 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Reinforces my appreciation for linux
Cons Life is too short for MS Windows
Recommended it? No

The fact that I'm writing this review from a 1999 233mhz PII laptop running Mandriva 10.2 should give you a clue. I've had a 64bit Athlon Desktop PC for two months and can't stand to boot it up in XP. I only get home on weekends, but every bootup involves a 'dial-up' session to update some... Read full review »

The security is bad!

byjoshl Mar 8, 2007
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Good looking interface, easy to use
Cons Bad security
Recommended it? No

The first thing I would like to say is that Windows XP Home Edition is a lot better the Windows 95/98 operating systems. But the Operating System still has many security flaws that the service pack 2 didn't cover up. Out of the three major operating systems (Windows, Mac, and Linux) this is the... Read full review »

Good to try so far not much issues with it.

7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros SP2 support pack has few addition of securities.
Cons Download and validation of the windows version installs few more ActiveX controls
Recommended it? Yes

This one is tried and tested by me. So far did not have much issues with it. You can visit Microsoft web site and download it for free. Win XP SP 2 is pretty good provided you do alot of tweaking
It seems pretty stable, no more BSOD's. It also doesn't crash as often as past versions.

Best OS I have used

bynemoturtle Apr 17, 2006
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Easy to use, attractive, user-friendly, secure
Cons There aren't really any that I have found
Recommended it? Yes

This is by far the most user-friendly, easy-to-navigate, secure operating system I have used. I am pretty partial to Microsoft as far as OS go anyway, but this one is great. The ability to have multiple user accounts, great backgrounds, easy access to programs, etc. There is even an option to... Read full review »
