Fresh install
- Pros: Faster than win 2000 pro
- Cons: Don't like new look. I have web browser, why would I want my os to look like web browser interface. Thankfully it has classic interface option.
- Other Thoughts: To a previous user: You CAN upgrade from win 2000 it is the easiest of all the upgrades. Best thing to do is fresh install on reformatted hard drive. No mixing of 2 different os files. Tells how on microsoft support website. Just boot from winxp pro cd, it'll ask for previous os cd once verified it will tell you to put xp cd back in and then install xp.
Waiting for Vista to mature
- Pros: Good operating system, easy to install
- Cons: Price, needed an additional license. Called Microsoft and they charged me $200. What no discount?
- Other Thoughts: none I can share on this site.

info correction
- Pros: works in business enviroment, more capable than home.
- Cons: costs too much for upgrade, 99 would be more reasonable imho. microsoft support for mce is buggy sometimes, pro is better.
- Other Thoughts: contrary to previous reviews, mce is actually pro with mce extensions. i'm too lazy to look up if networking limits are same as pro or home, but i can say that mce install screens actually say pro until the end of install . . . just thought that might help. also, recommend a fresh install, mce install gives rare unsupported o/s error with some microsoft utilities.
It's XP and it works
- Pros: Not much to say, other than it works. I use this in order to run a few older programs that I have.
- Cons: Activation
- Other Thoughts: XP is XP works very well. I have not had much trouble with Windows over the years as some have. Maybe it is the user and not the software?
Junk
- Pros: Much better than Vista
- Cons: SP3 messed it up.
