Microsoft Windows XP - Professional Edition Reviews

Having used previous versions of windows such as 95, 98 and 2000 it was a refreshing experience to use windows xp due to the big change in the user interface & graphics. I found previous windows quite unstable - always frustratingly crashing when you needed it to be most reliable. 2000 was probably the most stable version I had used and that ...  Read the complete review

I've used Windows XP since forever and even though I have a Vista laptop I prefer to use XP over Vista any day. XP pro is probably the best XP OS generally because it has pretty much all of the features XP can have bar Windows Media Centre. I like XP because it is most like the original 95 layout and is not much different from previous ...  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world, I don't think there is any other technology that has been around for 8 years without a replacement that has superseded it entirely.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. Among them, It is the longest time I use XP and still continue to use it (downgrade from Vista). Why? 1. It is secure and not easy to be attacked. 2. Easy to use. I was ...  Read the complete review

I searched the internet to find out that ...  Read the complete review

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 managed to ...  Read the complete review

Fortunately I had taken the precaution of backing up my most ...  Read the complete review

When I upgraded my computer, I though sure why not I will stick XP on it for the craic? Its bloody terrible.

Now in fairness, biggish ...  Read the complete review

Thank goodness for the BBC News website. Without it, I probably wouldn't have found out how a scientist at the University of Bristol has discovered how to make the perfect cheese sandwich. Apparently it's all to do with the thickness of the cheese: perfection requires 2.8mm of Cheddar, but this rises to 4.5mm for Caerphilly. This news ...  Read the complete review
