This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Its XP! This is a great OS. Very stable and very easy to operate (especially for users migrating from 95/98/ME/2000) The OS can be tweaked to accomodate all of the users needs. Very high software and hardware support levels. Best of all this OS is VERY efficent. Its hardware requirements are very low and allow machines that struggle with Vista to fly with XP.
Cons: 1. Its outdated
2. Support will soon go
3. Windows 7: the OS to be released sometime next year should cure some of the Vista issues and make XP obsolete.
Other Thoughts: *Speed
*GUI
*Customization

This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Buy this now, Microsoft quit producing copies June 30th of 2008, as I write this newegg only has 28 copies left in their inventory and they lose about 10 a day. Once they are gone their isn't anymore folks! (If you want to see how many they have left add this item to your cart and change quantity to 999, it will correct you with how many they have left in their inventory).
Cons: Microsoft said only the retail version will they allow a patch to be made where activation isn't required after they quit supporting Win XP next year. OEM versions will still have to be activated and you will have to do it by phone! Plus they will only activate after you've proven to them that your OEM copy isn't stolen.
Other Thoughts: I've bought 3 copies of XP OEM for my 3 computers, however if I ever had to reinstall after XP is no longer supported I will need this retail version to do it smoothly.
Also check MS's website and search for "future of windows xp" to learn more.
