Summary: 5 Stars
Great operating system. Hardly any problems with it. Very stable compared to Windows 98. Customer Review: Wow..oh wait!
Summary: 1 Stars
Yeah thats right windows xp home edition and professional was like wow when I saw it, but thats just it. It's just to look at. When I first saw it i thought wow looks great and looks like it will work great too. Well, I was wrong! I have had to install windows xp on my computer numerous times and frankly I'm getting tired of doing so. I swear, I can't download a single file cause I'm afraid it might distablize my computer or have a virus or something. The software is very glitchy, not to mention very unprotected. Even with the "updates" it still managed to catch a virus. Instead of windows xp firewall detecting my zone alarm firewall stop it from further destroying my computer. So, in all xp is a joke. I have never had so many problems with viruses, installing, etc. It is very unreliable, unstable and also a memory hog. I have a p4 computer 2.4 with 512 memory and still it is slow?!? I think those people at microsoft need to recall this crapware, because thats what it really is, and make a better os! Right now I am considering on getting either Linux or maybe switch back to 98 or 2000. At least with those os I know I won't have to reinstall everything a couple times a year!Customer Review: Do Not -- I Repeat DO NOT install XP over an existing OS

Windows XP Home is only second to XP Pro in my book. If you have an upgrade XP version than reformat your hard drive and than install Windows XP, you can do this using the XP disc. First it'll ask that you don't have a qualify os on your hard drive that's when you put your Win98 or Win Me cd in the cd tray and it'll verify that you have a qualify disc, than you put your XP disc back in the tray and go from there. XP Home or Pro is a lot better than 9x(Win95-Win Me). It's more stable. It utilizes ram better. I would get at least 512 of ram. It likes a lot of ram.Customer Review: Pretty good....

I've had Windows XP for a year now and it's probably the best OS that Microsoft has put out so far. The major difference in this version compared to it's predecessors is the new interface. At first, I was skeptical of the new design because it looked a little too user-friendly for my liking but I got used to it quickly. The colors are vibrant and they make a difference in the attraction of this product.
This operating system is much more stable than the other versions, too. Windows Me was the first OS that I ever used but I always felt that it left much to be desired. The stability was bad, the omnipresent blue screen of death (if you've had Me, you'll know what I am talking about) came up often, and it seemed so much like a Windows 98 3rd Edition instead of Me after I tried out 98. Fortunately, This blue screen of death is absent from this version. Compared to the other versions, this is like a Godsend.
If you are sick of unstability or just want to upgrade, go for this product.
Customer Review: XP Home a "Bust" for the Buck
Summary: 1 Stars
I tried XP Home on a desktop for over a year and it was nothing but headaches. A laptop running XP Pro in the same period, used the same amount of usage had less than a third of the problems. Shell out the additional for XP Pro or don't waste your money, XP Home is garbage.
