Never wanna approach my pc again!!!!!!!!!!!!
Strengths: umm...popular...i guess
Weakness: Too risky to use. You can install XP on only one machine; piddling discounts for additional PC licenses; nags you to sign up for Passport Web account; multiple-user login screens are often redundant; heavy system requirements.
Windows has way to many errors. Viruses and spyware penetrate very easily, and most dont want to spend money and time on anti-virus programs. My best suggestion is to install linux, or any other OS. better yet get a mac. XP is a worthwhile upgrade from 95/98 or Windows 2000.

Easy upgrade
Strengths: Installs fine
Weakness: N/A

Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition w/ SP2
Strengths: Big improvement over windows 98; true multi-tasking OS
Weakness: Rather high priced. I hate the product activation. They treat you like a thief even if you own the product.
Unlike windows 98, which might crash several times a day, Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition w/ SP2 is more stable. Service Pack 2 has a firewall, which makes it more secure.
