What do you say about the foundation of everything we do on the PC? Microsoft Windows, since its first release, has become an integral part of our computing lives. From photography to e-mail, gaming to multimedia, Windows is the framework on which all the other applications and programs are built. Without the Windows Graphic User Interface, nothing else would work. This is by design. The developers at Microsoft have worked hard to incorporate every aspect of digital information management and entertainment.

Windows XP Professional SP2 optimizes the productivity of your business/setup, irrespective its size, using the latest in the field of digital innovations. It offers you the best computing experience as it is compatible with most of the applications. This operating system's Improved network connections make network set-up an easy task to perform. With wireless networking support, you can easily work offline or access your computer remotely. It boasts of Configurations Wizard that simplifies the process of tweaking hardware and software settings, this feature is complimented with Improved Power Management, which enables you to customize the power usage of your PC or notebook as per your need.

Windows XP includes a suite of features to help you protect your PC from hackers and phishers with the latest security enhancements and regular “patches” from Microsoft. It features Automatic Windows Update, an application that automatically integrates the operating system with Windows Servers and management solutions and keeps your system updated. It’s simple and easy to set up for the various users in your family, connect several computers, and there are controls which allow you to restrict and monitor a child’s internet travels. Web browsing is a cinch – Internet Explorer 6 provides a simple interface for web browsing and reading, and helps secure yours system from outside interference. This is the base on which every other personal computing program rests, and is essential for your PC.

Pros: full version of xp pro. at a great price. no problems to speak of
Cons: none
Other Thoughts: if you're looking for windows xp pro this is the thing to get. there is no need in buying the retail version, the only difference between the two would be that this cd does not really come with an installation guide. i did a clean instal so the only thing u do is pop in the cd and make the computer boot from cd. a full version of xp pro for 140 bucks it cant be beat!!!

Tech Level Tech Level: high - Ownership: more than 1 year
Pros: It's a good OS, as far as Windows goes. Does what I need it to do.
Cons: Still need a floppy if you want to install to a RAID array. I was installing this on my new build, which lacks a floppy drive, and I forgot about that and had to run to [big box retailer] to grab a floppy drive that I'll only ever use for the installation. I don't think it's beyond Microsoft's capacity to change that.
