Rating + 4 Download problem


Pros: It is service pack 2, with some crucial security upgrades.

Cons: Every time I wanted to download something from, say, downloads.com, IE wouldn't let me. I looked around and found that you have to allow download from the "information bar" on top of the IE window. I could not find it. Lol, I looked carefully and even asked my friend to find it. He could't find it too.
So I installed Firefox.:)

Other Thoughts: It is a good product, feels more secure. But You must have your providers firewall/antivirus. Earthlink and Road Runner have pretty decent products for users.
Do not skip on them! I have learned it hard way.

Rating + 4 Final Update


Pros: After operating this OS for over 2 years, I can say this is my favorite. Tried Linspire one time, didn't like it, used XP-Pro on my cousin's computer, had too much mumbo-jumbo office junk that I never used that got in the way. This one does exactly what I need it to do, and nothing more.

Cons: Had a few viruses cuz this is(from what I've been told) such an easy OS to hack. But after getting a good firewall and having it updated every 24 hours, I've not had a problem since.

Other Thoughts: When you run Valve(Counter-Strike), MBM5, ATI, AIM, BitTorrent, eMule, Windows Media Player 11, 3 IE windows, and are playing an AMV in WMP11 at once like I'm doing now on an AMD 2400+(1Gb RAM), you tend to want to have as little running in the background as possible, and I know XP Pro won't use as few resources as Home which will probably crash my system, hahaha! Honestly people, it's stable, doesn't take up much to run, and has a user-friendly GUI (Graphic User Interface), why wouldn't you want it? Other than Windows Vista! ^_^

Pros: Good price for XP. OEM version is perfect for a second computer (i.e. one you don't plan to mess around with)

Cons: none really...it's not perfect but what is?

Other Thoughts: I had some issues installing but it was due to my hard drive. Once I did a full reformat with the XP install disk, it went like any other XP install.

Rating + 5 Nice


Pros: Ok, so it's one of the more "it just works" operating systems out on the market. It feels very "lean" now that hardware is so much better than when it was released.

Cons: It's getting old. (This is actually a big plus for a lot of regular folks that like it when things work... even if its not splashy... I like my stuff splashy).

Other Thoughts: If this is the price of admission to build your own computer... do it. It's worth not being bound to some halfway version. I would of course suggest waiting just a tad more for Win Vista to come out.

I'm a user that can appreciate the diverse ecosystem. I am writing this under Linux, own a Mac and appreciate what WinXP brings to the table.

Oh BTW, Microsoft treats their full-version customers very well IMHO. Microsoft over the phone is the best over the phone support in my experience.

Rating + 2 No other choice


Pros: Speed and stability when there is no one hacking into it!!!

Cons: Well man were do we need to start. Microsoft Has taken greed to another level by coming up with the genuine validation tool and notifications. While i am all for people doing the right thing and buy legal copies of windows. Microsoft has taken it to another level All a person has to do is Add new hardware to there system and Microsoft screws up there PC. Go figure they just want more money.

Other Thoughts: Microsoft needs to get a grip Maybe bill Gates needs to quit giving away his money to people from other countries because he is sticking it to his customers. I feel the people who are cirulating piracy copies of Windows xp need to be punished severly but Microsoft needs to do it differently than the current means by this validation tool and notification system. Newegg of course is wonderfull about delivering there products. Microsoft needs to chill a bunch.

Pros: Need it to play games and Newegg has a great price.

Cons: Activation is a huge annoyance. Beware if you change any of your system hardware - will need to call Microsoft and spend about 15-30 minutes on the phone. Very restrictive.

Rating + 5 EASY LOADER


Pros: Super easy to load on a new build--remembering to press F6 at the right time to load RAID drivers was the only hiccup. You have absolutely no reason to spend more money on a non-OEM version.

Cons: Still a tad pricey for an aging OS.

Other Thoughts: Activate windows before too many upgrades so the OS will be linked to a minimum set of hardware.

Rating + 3 Thanks to M$ had to re-purchase XP for emachine mobo replacemnt


Pros: Cheapest XP @ $xx. Can be used to re-activate OEM XP on old HD w/new mobo.

Cons: Unacceptable that MS/emachines would link their OEM/XP with the emachines mobo. You cannot re-activate your emachines OEM XP Home w/a new mobo without purchasing a new XP.

Other Thoughts: At least I could re-activate the existing XP on the HD by changing product key to the newly purchased key & used automated activation.

Stinks that you have to re-purchase XP just because you replace emachines mobo. Replaced mobos on other PC (e.g. HP, home-made PC) & could re-activate without new purchase.
Very shady of M$/emachines.
But thanks to the great Newegg, could get XP going again for $xx.

Pros: Its stable, operates well. compatible with current hardware. Robust while operating.

Cons: expensive , when changing mobos, It thinks you have installed on another computer. Pain in the kneck to work with when pcs go crashing down. Has to get on the phone to call ms to validate the program when changing hardware. all above is my biggest con I have

Other Thoughts: I wished I would have stayed with MS windows 2kpro sp4. I know I could do without the hassle of wpa. I wished Bill would sit down and be user friendly. Lets all get together and write our own windows os for free. Make Bill think twice before trampling on people in the world.

Rating + 4 Just for Clarification of OEM


Pros: 　

Cons: 　

Other Thoughts: Just to clarify the OEM: based on EULA (End User License Agreement), OEM version of PC is for distribution of new PCs, and only valid for one PC (which means CD-KEY). Recently (or not) M$ announced the term 'PC' is determined by motherboard. Therefore if you change parts other than your motherboard, that is acceptable, and considered 'upgrade' of your current PC. However if you ever choose to change your motherboard (which usually changes most of the parts after all) M$ will not validate your OEM version of windows. Just make it a simple notice if you are making this as a 'bridge' to a vista. For me, I really don't know whether I'll like vista or not. So far, it did not reach my demand.

Rating + 3 Beware of Old XP disks


Pros: Let's say it installed O.K. and the software does work. The Activation went O.K.

Cons: Beware of the system you get as the one I got was a very early version of Win XP that had SP2 added and after installing it and when booting, there are screens that you see which are the same as the older version Win 2000. (Moving B&W horizontal bar at bottom of the screen. To make sure the disc was O.K., I called M.S. and they checked the Product Code that was activated and I was advised that it was O.K. and that it was just an older copy.

Other Thoughts: Log On and Shut down proceedures are not the same as other OEM copies that I am using.

Rating + 4 XP, HOME, OEM


Pros: M$'s windows xp. It is home but if you are not crazy about servers, home would do just fine. Also it is time to go legal, after all.

Cons: OEM. OEM is basically stuck to your motherboard, and any time you change a part in your computer, it will consider 'violation of EULA' which is kinda burdensome

Other Thoughts: Retails are much expensive, and OEM should do enough as long as you don't change the motherboard and don't do any crazy o/c, format, or upgrades. Reminds:Internet validation is only acceptable for 'first-installation' configuration. After that, you'll just need to call and ask M$.

Rating + 3 OEM Windows


Pros: It's windows, yep. XP is still the front-runner.

Cons: OEM version is restrictive.

Other Thoughts: People need to remember that, with an OEM version, you can ONLY install this on ONE PC, and MS will refuse activation if you install it on a PC with different hardware. The system is somewhat random. If you change your Video Card down the line, that may trip the activation systems and you won't be able to reactivate it. It's all hit or miss as to what hardware MS looks for when you make the attempt.

Rating + 5 Very Nice OS


Pros: This is a good OS in my opinion, I've been running XP Home on my retial bought computer for over 3 years now and Windows hardly crashes for me. Every once in a while a game might crash due to User Error. But I'm going to be getting this soon with a computer I'm building. I think if you are going to use a computer for word processing, internet access, games, music, and photos, this would be an excellent OS. XP Pro really doesn't have many features that would make me want to spend the extra money on, not really into all that networking stuff, after all, the computer will reside in my room. I will mainly use my computer for gaming and just plain old internet so this OS i think is a good choice instead of Pro.

Cons: Main target of Viruses and Spyware, but i'm pretty good at tracking and deleting them. My version of Windows Home has been in use for more then 3 years, and I consider my computer spyware free (no random popups, extra IE toolbars, unstability, or anything).

Other Thoughts: I'm pretty good at knowing how computers work so I've been able to remove any spyware/viruses/malware out without any problems (of course I have Anti Virus program to alert me.) Normal browsing through the internet should keep you somewhat safe, just dont click ads on sites. If a virus file is unremovable while running Windows, I use a handy freeware tool called "BartPE", like a sepeate OS almost, bootable from CD, lets you manage your computer and files on HD. So really I don't have ANY spyware issues here. People who have virus problems and are aware of it and complain just don't know how to use computers.

Rating + 5 Beware the Naysayers


Pros: It's actually quite stable, as far as operating systems go. It's very easy to use. And, because it's the dominant OS for home use, it's got the best compatibility with software/hardware.

Cons: It has glitches. Viruses are occasionally problems.

Other Thoughts: A ton of people claim to hate XP, but, in the end, that's more because they think Microsoft is the evil empire and therefore they must fight back by flaming their products. Sure, XP has problems. But so does Linux (spend days in the terminal trying to fix various things, and you'll know what I mean) as well as OSX. Bottom line: it's a decent product.

Rating + 5 The best for gamers.


Pros: Great windows operating system.. much better than Windows 98 or ME edition. Windows 2000 is the only one that comes fairly close to competing with it.. Windows 2000 and XP are by far the most stable operating systems produced by microsoft. Windows XP has a few advantages over 2000, First of all, XP has support for Hyperthreading endabled processors, or processors with multiple logical cores. This is a big advantage to any serious gamers. Also.. This is the OEM version.. Which means you pay a lot less than the retail version and the only thing you lose out on his printed instructions and manuals. OEM versions can still receive tech support once you register (Dont let other newegg reviews fool you)

Cons: Price. Although..Its a great price compared to the retail version.

Windows XP OEM: 89 bucks.
Linux: Priceless.

Other Thoughts: Great for gamers and anyone else who wants to run the most advanced operating system by microsoft.

Pros: Well, it's better than 98... but that ain't saying a whole lot.

Cons: Still has lots of Microsoft glitches. And I just bought this and installed it, and right off, I have to do 54 updates ?? We need a software lemon law like they have with cars.

Other Thoughts: I hope somebody comes out with an O/S that will run EVERYTHING that needs Windows to work. (That is, and O/S that actually works all the time). And does Microsoft REALLY ever read all those error reports I send to them?

Cons: It's Windows.

Other Thoughts: The OEM package contains all you need to get your system up and running without the high cost of those in-store "upgrades" and the really expensive retail editions.

Pros: OS loading simple, easy, came with ability to generate sound, hook up to Internet, and integrate with the video card. Unlike the Win98 OS, which installs faster, but needs to have a secondary internet access in order to get things up and running fully.

Cons: Have to relearn how to be secure.

Other Thoughts: Debating whether or not to work on building a better computer with this disc in use, or just saying to heck with it and registering it on with what I've got.

Pros: All PC games are designed to work with this OS. Wireless Networking is extremely well done. Much more stable than previous versions of Windows.

Cons: Most viruses and exploits target this OS. Not nearly as configurable as Linux based OS's. Not free.

Other Thoughts: I use Ubuntu Linux most of the time because it's more fun to run, but Windows is still a generation ahead. For every day users and gamers there is no other choice. Home is fine for dual-core cpus, but if you have dual processors you need to use Pro.

Rating + 5 Excellent


Pros: Completely partitioned my 250GB HD with no problems. I thought I would need a SATA/RAID driver which I had prepared, though it didn't need it. The OS is great, it has crashed on me due to incompatible BIOS, but since I updated, it has run without any problems with my Pentium D. The OEM price is unbeatable.

Cons: Most, if not all threats are targeted at the windows platform.

Other Thoughts: I have XP Home on another computer that has a 256MB SDRAM and a 1.2GHz Celeron. Windows runs very bad on it. My new system has 2GB of RAM and a 3.0GHz Pentium D, everything works much smoother now. In conclusion, system specs do matter for overall performence.

Pros: Anyone buying a Windows CD should choose their vendor carefully to insure you get a legitimate copy. NewEgg had the best price at the time I ordered.

Cons: The OEM version is locked to your motherboard. If it blows, you can only replace it with the same one. If you want to upgrade, get the retail XP version.

Other Thoughts: For gaming and everyday tasks, XP Home is fine so save your money over XP Pro. Be sure to get XP with SP2 to avoid the necessary update hassle.

Pros: Great, cheap OS. Has plenty of useful features which make setup and configuration a snap.

Cons: To easy to setup. People who lack a decent understanding of computer hardware and operateing systems often expect to just pop in a cd and have thier system magicaly configured to thier systems specs. This causes people to complain when they get BSOD's because they don't know how to configure simple settings or how to install the correct drivers. So I blame Microsoft for makeing this product to easy to use which is causeing a rash of complainers and computer illiterate customers to flood newegg with complaints.

:P

Other Thoughts: You get what you pay for. You want more control over your systems OS then teach yourself more about computers and dive into linux. :)

Rating + 2 Bad Disc.


Pros: The hard-drive I was given worked just fine.

Cons: The windows XP disc was bad, and I was unable to install windows XP on my new harddrive. Lucky for me, I had a roommate with a copy.
Also, the shipping took longer than it should have.

Other Thoughts: Make sure you're sending out good products, because it's a great hassle for customers to deal with a defected item when shopping online.
