I like XP because it is most like the original 95 layout and is not much different ...  Read the complete review

Love it or Hate it, XP is a bit of a legend in the computing world, I don't think there is any other technology that has been around for 8 years without a replacement that has superseded it entirely. It has its security flaws, it has its limitations, but, it gets the job done and is arguably better than it's supposed replacement, Windows ...  Read the complete review

Microsoft Windows XP Professional (especially XP sp2) is preferred by most Windows users including me. I have used Windows 3.1, 3.2, 95, 98, ME, XP and Vista.

Windows XP is a huge step upwards from previous versions of the system. Being a former windows 98 SE user I had become frustrated by the constant crashes and illegal operations that windows 98 threw at me. I liked the format that windows 98 took. It was easy to use and made organising files and programs fairly easy, when it worked!!! I ...  Read the complete review

Now in fairness, ...  Read the complete review

Having used MS XP Professional for a few months now, I have to say that, overall, I am struggling to see how different this operating system is from, say, Windows 98/ME. OK, there are some welcome improvements. On the technical side, there are a more reliable file system, better memory management, fewer reboots after ...  Read the complete review
