Software Reviews of Microsoft Windows XP Professional Upgrade [OLD VERSION]
Customer Review: Rock solid, the PERFECT OPERATING SYSTEM
Summary: 5 Stars
If you want a rock solid PC, with all the funcitionality and rock solid stability then you need Windows XP Professional.I am so impressed with it, I bought Windows XP Professional for my mother who is 61 years old. She can actually use and is very pleased. It has been trouble free and best of all she can use her digital camera with it without any problems.
Best of all is the software selection, there are thousands of software titles for Windows XP! I was so pleased to see the support for Windows XP, the plug and play is wonderful.
MS hit a home run and then some with Windows XP Professional, it is just PERFECT!
I recommend Windows XP for anyone wanting a rock solid operating system.....
Customer Review: Fantastic!

Upgrading from WindowsME, after a two years was the best move I ever made. I was first worried that some of the software I had would have to be re-registered, or that I would lose some or all of my email/contacts/bookmarks/passwords/or other settings. My worries were for nothing! Everything migrated over to the new OS of XPProfessional without any complaints, or hangups. It took a total of 73 minutes to completely install the upgrade and with the exception of having to re-download the proper version of McAfee Virus Scan for the new OS, there were absolutlely NO problems.
Being able to 'partition' the drive for another person who may use my PC is the best function I've found. My settings and preferences are kept safe while their's are seperate. This upgrade is worth the price and the time.
This version is 2002, so a quick visit to the Windows Update site brought me completely up to date within a few minutes.
If you are a previous Win98/WinME user you will simply love this upgrade.

Welcome to the Swiss Cheese of operating systems. I am tired of applying on security patch after another and having to uninstall my firewall and reinstall my firewall with each security patch only to end up with the same slow clunky system. In two or three years Micro$oft might have a completely new operating system that totally obsoletes this one...then again maybe not. *** IS THIS WHAT WE HAVE TO LOOK FORWARD TO? 2 - 3 YEARS OF MORE PATCHES? *** I'm going to buy an Apple and end this insanity.Customer Review: A Worthwhile Upgrade

I have never had so much trouble installing a program! First, it told me that it had corrupted files and that it could not be installed. Once I got it to start the installation process, it stops(hangs) halfway through with no reason for the crash. When I went to the Microsoft website (spending at least an hour looking through a database of info that did not help me one bit-- but it did reveal to me that there are a host of other problems that pop up when you install XP which did not settle well with me, such as not being able to reinstall certain programs,vast program incompatibilities, etc.), I finally find the article pertaining to my problem and it suggested that I remove all my drivers, sound cards, video cards, etc. in essence, take apart my computer, install Windows, then put the pieces back again! Now I am adept at program installation, and can troubleshoot problems on my computer quite competently so I could safely say that I do know what I am doing when it comes to what should have been the installation of a simple program. This program made me feel as if I had a brain full of runny oatmeal. My advice to others who are wrestling with the question of "to upgrade or not to upgrade" is. . .don't. If you have Windows 98, leave it, stay happy and sane. In the past couple of years I have had nothing but trouble with the PC. When it is time for me to get another computer, I'm going back to the good ol' Mac.
