Product Description

 
With Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 2, you get safer browsing and communication, powerful security tools, and improved experiences. Packed with multimedia features, Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 2 aims to unlock the full potential of your personal computer. It also looks great, with rounded window corners, larger and more detailed icons, and a clean-look desktop. Windows XP is more customizable than previous versions, including its visual themes that let you change the whole appearance of Windows in an instant. Fast User Switching is a neat feature for computers used by more than one person--it lets another user log on without killing the previous user's session, and when you switch back, running applications and open documents are as you left them. This is impressive, but what really counts is that XP understands how to deal with multiple users. Each user has their own special folders, such as My Documents, which cannot be seen by other users.

If You Must Run Windows, This May Be The Best of Bad Choices

Date of Review:  Aug 21, 2008
The Bottom Line: I can't recommend any version of Microsoft Windows. But if one needs it, this is probably the best choice.
Review: Overall, I have mixed feelings about Windows XP. I can't recommend Windows. But if one does need Windows, this is probably the best version.

First, what's wrong with Microsoft Windows? Just a few things I don't like:

The Bottom Line: Replace Windows ME or Vista
Review: This operating system is a fancy upgrade from windows 2000, except Windows xp can run 16 bit applications, unlike 2000. This is a great operating system if you want to game, word process, or just plain use the internet. It is far more reliable than...

Review: Microsoft Windows XP is a very good OS and far better than many of Microsoft's previous Operating Systems. It is based on both Windows NT and Windows 2000. It is much more stable than Windows 95 or Win 98 or even Windows Millennium Edition. More...
