Software Name: Windows XP Home Edition
Upgrade Information: Not Applicable
Strengths: great price; OS installed easily; MS validation was no problem; the item is as advertised.
Weakness: it could have been for free, but bill gates has a mortgage, too.
i was apprehensive of the seller having bogus cd's, but the OS is up and running and there have been no problems. i think i may buy another for this price, because i love to be creative with computers, hence the nickname Crash!
Strengths: Works
Weakness: expensive
I think that XP home is a very good value because there are alot more options than either linux or mac. It is also the easiest version of windows yet.
Strengths: With Boot Camp it loaded easily. Product as expected.
Weakness: Windows is by its nature not as easily navigated as other operating systems, but the XP is fine for what it is.
I bought this to load onto my Macbook with intel. As soon as it came available via Boot Camp (free download from Apple) I looked for the cheapest version of Windows I could buy. THis version, OEM, with some sort of branding on the disc and without any "box" turned out to be just fine for the task. Following the Boot Camp instructions I loaded the OS onto my Mac and so far so good. This will...
Strengths: Faster internet, better performance
Weakness: heavy system requirements, no good for old DOS programs
I upgraded my OS (Win98 to WinXP). The results were good. No more anoying problems, freeze screens, etc. SP/2 is the pack which improve your internet connection and surfing. In addition, It could be used for small bussiness; however, if your system run or is based in DOS OS, it could not run very well in WinXP.
Strengths: very good easy to install. the price is very affordable,
Weakness: I am still using and haven't found any yet.
very good i reccomend for everyone. very easy to install. very intructions exspecially for a first time builder of a pc. it is very helpful and good licenses.i tell every one about this product. i have always use windows xp and have never had any problems. exept when my system has a virus or is to full of cookies and what not.
Strengths: Easy to load and authenicate Much more stable than Windows ME or 98
Weakness: Always need to keep it updated to protect against viruses
I build my own computers using barebone systems. You can save money over buying the prepackages systems, but you have to load your own operating system. I've had good experience with Windows XP home. I've never tried the Professional version, but I hear that there is not that much difference
Strengths: good price (on sale?)
Weakness: web site was difficult to use. took me 5-6 times to get all the way thru the purchase process (painful).
Overall I'm happy with my purchase of Windows XP from SoftwareMedia.com. Their price was good but it must have been on sale. Their web site was flakey, as it kept crapping out on my as I was going thru the purchase process. It literally took me about 5-6 attempts to get all the way thru the checkout process. I almost just gave up and went with another vendor. Not sure what the problem was, but it...
Strengths: none
Weakness: corrupted my iMac
I don't know whether it was Windows XP or Outlook Express or Parallels, but upon installation on my brand-new iMac, on which I had just configured my Mac Mail e-mail accounts, my Mac Mail accounts became disabled, and my whole new computer went kablooey. Programs were behaving erratically, and I did not trust the computer, though I tried mightily to use it. I had AppleCare walk me through an...
Strengths: At least i recived it .
Weakness: none.
Well this windows tha i recive was used and it camed without a original retail box . So what ewer you do dont buy it from them , it ewen looked used and the licence looked like someone had taken it off of his computer and glued it on a piece of plastic.

Good Seller
Strengths: Low Cost of Software and received package in good time.
Weakness: See comments
Software worked fine. Was worried in the beginning since it looked as if the Windows Certification Sticker had been reattached to the software. It did activate and register fine. No problems so far.
