Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 2

Average rating: Stars

Windows XP

Now, windows xp is the os to buy today because you have no other choice. it's more compatible with games than windows 2000 and has a lot less bugs than windows me. the loading time is very fast(about 10 seconds on a amd athlon 64 3400+) and i havn't seen any 'blue screens of death' since i bought it. However, ther is no more support for real dos mode which may cuase some of your older software to not function, otherwise its a great operating system.

I think that most people who are buying this product are the people who just built or building their own pc. There is no question wether or not you should choose this product since its considered to be the 'flagship' version of the windows os and its had its time to mature. It's said by microsoft that the XP will make your PC run faster but i think that more complicated the sofware gets, the more resources its going to require and windows xp is certainly more complicated than windows 98. This is only an operrating system so as long as it operates quietly in the backgroud and doesn't interup your work, its cool. By the way, i have some other advice, if you are making a new pc, please do not buy any products that are less than 6 months old, because by that time, not only will the price fall dramatically, but all the bugs in it will be fixed by that time.
Good Luck!

The worst os on the market

I give it a bad rating for several reasons:
1: The security is horrible, look at all the spyware and viruses there are. That is the reason they devolped seervice pack two.
Linux or mac doesn't have spyware.
2: This is just a comment, It is not windows that suports all the hardware, It is the companys that devolpe software that make the drivers for windows. I see some people wrote in their reveiw how windows supported everything.
I used windows xp for about 4 months it came with my sony pcg grz610 laptop, I erased windows and put mandrake linux on it.
I can do a lot more with my pc now.
4 My last reason, I like to have a choice about what software i use, look at all the lawsuits against microsoft and you will see what i mean there.
It's not any easier to use than mac or linux.
it is slower than both of the two I just mentioned.
the only advantage is more games are availible for windows but even that is changing
