Software Name: Windows XP Home Edition
Upgrade Information: Not Applicable
Strengths: Reliable, stable, easy to learn and use.
Weakness: Some compatability problems with some older software and equipment, but, it's worth it.
I replaced Windows Me with XP Home, haven't had a lockup, lost work or any other typical computer failure since. It makes integrating new equipment, software and networking a breeze not to mention all the extras bells and whistles included with XP. You could actually get good use out of your system without any additional software.
Strengths: Stability! No more blue screens of death. it is very fast as well. conserves memory. I can go on and on, it is a very solid os.
Weakness: The really only weeknes that i have found is all the negitive hype about how hard it is to registar and activate. It is so simple. Dont be fooled
Hackers Have ruined it for everyone. if it werent for hackers and theives this os would be a lot cheaper. the only people this activation should really upset is them. for everyone else, fear not. do not be taken in by petty arguments. I am embarrased to say that i was very afraid becuase i constantly upgrade my system. I changed my mainboard and my dvd drive before the first 30 days. activation...
Strengths: Stable, nice interface, good security, and XP is much faster than Windows 2000 Pro - especially booting up.
Weakness: Microsoft should release software that is secure and stable to start with instead of constantly releasing "updates" and "service packs".
Windows XP is stable and easy to use with a nice interface. You get a good feeling that the operating system is in control instead of the applications. Includes SP2 for added security. You do not need to download and install SP2 yourself. "OEM" does not mean anything is missing. It simply means you do not get a retail box or manual. I have found that the "Home" version has everything I need....
Strengths: great os fun easy
Weakness: the activation hype
well not much i can say but if your friend has it have them make a copy of the cd, or use the cd and install it. when asked if you would like to register press skip. i have installed this os on like 10 computers.
Strengths: The best operating system yet!
Weakness: None! Except Maybe for the fact you can't use alot of older equiptment. But you can download the drivers at microsoft.
This is the best operating system yet for the home system! I've had windows 95 and 98 plus and they cannot hold a candle this this one, and with so many digital enhancements,it is definitely the choice of the new millennium. People who have problems with it freezing up is generally because they don't have enough memory. The XP needs 128mb of ram to run properly, and you need also more ram for...
Strengths: Extremely stable - not one crash! Can't say the same for any of the other previous versions of the OS! Very customizable. Can set up multiple user accounts - nice feature!
Weakness: May not be compatible with your hardware or software. Be sure to check compatibility BEFORE installing the program!
Overall the best thing to happen to the home computer since the Internet! Highly recommended however, make sure if you plan to upgrade an existing computer that you check compatibility with hardware and software. Many mfg.s of older hardware haven't written drivers for XP and you may need to purchase newer models and versions of your hardware and software. MS has a compatibility check that you...
Strengths: The most configurable OS next to Linux
Weakness: Proprietary software, prime target for crackers, frequent patches/critical updates necessary.
I have read some of the reviews on this site about XP Home, and feel that many reviewers have not done their homework on this OS. It seems to me that most users attempt to operate the OS without doing much, if any reading or research via the many books, periodicals, and websites devoted to this subject. I personally am very satisfied with WinXP Home, and have had very few problems with it. The...
Strengths: Fast boot and shut-down. Almost everything, including software, is immediately recognized by Windows. Multi-user capability with completely seperate user accounts.
Weakness: Searching for drivers for older peripherals nearly impossible.
Like AOL...Idiot proof. Also like AOL, not the greatest for those who like to get inside their computers code and mess with the registry et-al. For the mac-holes who have never even seen WinXP but merely jump at the chance to trash Gates and Windows, go back to your colorless mac world. I've used both and I can tell you that macs are fine, but pcs are far superior. To the nugget brain who said...
Strengths: WIN XP ROCKS! Load the BIOS XP UPGRADE FROM YOUR COMPUTER MFG's Website BEFORE YOU INSTALL XP OS! MFGs for all my peripherals had XP drivers at their respective websites.
Weakness: No (800) Help Desk telephone number. Cost me 50 min tel call to MS and 10hrs:14 mins to complte everything.
Bill Gates finally got Windows right and Windows is finally stable under XP OS. Bill Gates is finally off my short list of ten most hated people in America LOL. This IMHO is as good as it gets under CISK architecture. A real Disk Check and Defrag!(A+) The entire XP OS architecture and file Control structure is a wet dream come true! True UNIX-RISK multitaking & daemon CPU timeslicing? Who cares...
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition
Strengths: you have all The features that you need, all the extra games. The smooth installation of hardware and soft ware
Weakness: I find that it doesn't have some of the help topics that some first time users would need.
I have enjoyed using windows xp, with all of its features, I find windows easy to find things on the internet with windows xp. All in all I find that windows xp is the best windows oparating system software that I have used out of all the past windows I have used.
