Domain Name Com's - Software : Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition [Old Version]

- So far, so good
Well, I have a pc that I bought in 2001, it came with Windows Me. I upgraded to Windows XP Home about eight months ago, give or take, and I've had no problem at all. The only problems I've had is when I upgraded to Windows SP2, the new service pack. It locked some things up and just did a few weird things, so I uninstalled it. I already had good virus protection, a good firewall, I stay completely up-to-date with Windows and Internet Explorer, etc... so for now, I feel I am already pretty secure. But, other than that XP Home had been just about perfect for me. Of course, I feel that the logoff could be a tad faster, and to me, the start could be faster too, but hey, I think most all of us want faster and faster and better, don't we?

Every program I had on PC with Windows ME before upgrading is still on my pc and still works perfectly fine. My pc and Windows XP HOme has been extremely stable, knock on wood, and personally, I am glad I upgraded and I am glad to be rid of Windows ME. Me was ok, but I did have some problems with it and I did have to reload it a few times on my pc from Feb. 2001 to first part of Feb/March 2004. Finally I decided it was time to move on to XP, that surely it couldn't be any worse. I was right.

No, XP may not be ALL THAT and a bag of chips too, may not be for everyone and their computer, BUT, it was a good move for me. I believe that on the whole it will be a good move for most people, especially if you are still running Windows 95-98, and ME. I think you'll like XP.

But, I agree with many... I don't believe that Microsoft should automatically load it on all pc's and expect you to use it. I think when it comes to spending that much money on a computer system and getting what you want... you shouldn't have to accept what they have loaded. You should be given a choice on what OS you would like to run.

- The best contemporary operating system for individual users
I've been using XP Home on various machines for three years, simultaneously with Linux, and it's enough time to say that XP has been excellent while Linux was just so-so.

Some of the reasons why I love Windows XP:

1. It is amazingly stable. Do you remember Windows 95/98 that were crashing several times a day? It does not happen with XP anymore. At the beginning, in 2001, the Internet Exporer was rather unstable and it had to close many times a week. Such things simply do not happen to me anymore, as a result of the updates that have been done. I am getting the blue screen roughly once a year, and it is never unexpected because I almost always do something controversial.

2. It is getting very secure. The Service Pack 2 made the XP the safest affordable operating system. You know, operating systems are not created by God, and therefore there can be holes in them. The same is true about Windows. But Microsoft is a very active company and the hotfixes are available very quickly if it is necessary. The number of bugs that have survived is very small.

3. XP is compatible with all previous software I tried - including very old-fashioned games that used to run under MS-DOS. Although XP is based on the technology of Windows NT/2000 Kernel, which was more stable, it became compatible with the systems 95/98/ME for the home users. XP also works with all modern games and other programs, as well as all external devices, that I've tried.

4. XP is very configurable. I've changed the icons of everything - every folder and every file type, as well as all the sounds. It is also very user-friendly, and international support works smoothly.

5. In the case that something goes wrong, it is still very likely that "System Restore" will save you. It's a time machine that can return all system files on your PC to a moment (checkpoint) in the past. It has been useful several times to fix various small problems with the configurations that appeared because of new programs I installed.

- Bet Bill Gates doesn't use XP.
When I bought my new dell machine this year, Windows XP was the only choice of OS I had and Dell assured me that XP is well received by customers.
I had already heard the scary stories about XP but I was still not prepeared for the horrors that XP unleashed once the initial setup was completed. The look and feel it gives your computer is certainly different, but its capability to do multiple tasks while maintaining system integrity is seriously flawed.
I do not know how this piece of garbage was released for public consumption.
Here are all the positives and negatives I ahve encountered with XP in last 6 months:
Positives:
None
Negatives:
1) Very unstable. Unless you only launch your IE or some other basic applications that come with the system, you are in serious trouble. The system becomes unresponsive and I have to cut the power and remove the battery to restart it. Sometimes (like just now) I had to restart 5 times before I could log in.

2) Incompatible with most software out there. If you want to install basic music software, virus protection, firewall etc, be prepared for further system issues at startup type. XP doesn't handle anything but microsoft's software.

3) No gaming support. Despite what MS claims, XP is incapable of handling most gaming software. It keeps crashing everytime you run a game with heavy graphics.

CONCLUSION: Microsoft is forcing people to but XP by making it available for every new PC. And despite what most people believe, it is not for free. Your PC maker includes the cost in your final statement. You cannot remove it because that voids your warranty. The fact that MS allowed such incompetency makes me question their future direction. No wonder they are losing ground to Linux. It is free and more stable than XP.

- This is a great OS - but XP Prof is better
I have this OS on most all my home PC's. Windows XP Professional is better...but if you use XP Home for your home its probably all you'll need. Oh yeah - download Service pack 2 - its a great upgrade with security features. It even blocks your pop up ads. I am so glad to have that. TIP - back up critical files before downloading any service pack. I didn't have any trouble but its a good practice.

- ARGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
I mean it is almost impossoble to run complex programs with how much RAM it uses. In fact I have 192 megs of ram but the thing only has 45 megs free! And my old PC has 64 megs of ram on windows 98 and it has 60 free megs of ram! They need to make it need less requiring of RAM!
