Windows XP Pro SP-2

Date of Review:  Sep 5, 2005
The Bottom Line: Windows XP SP-2 has many useful features; it is quite secure on the internet or network group. But it's expensive and large, requiring expensive hardware for a smooth performance.
Review: As a long-time user of Windows 2000 Professional, I finally bow to Windows XP Professional SP-2. Notice the important word "SP-2" (Service Pack 2).

In August 2004, Microsoft released SP-2 patch files for Windows XP. At the same time, they...

Windows XP

Date of Review:  Aug 24, 2005
The Bottom Line: I would not recommend Windows for anyone who has more than 10 minutes to learn an operating system. It is insecure and supports a known monopoly.
Review: Windows XP is an OS designed to be prettier. Microsoft figures that the prettier the desktop looks, the more people will use their OS; and they seemed to be right. Windows XP is the most popular OS on the planet. But this isn't just some regular...
