Microsoft Windows XP Professional
Amazon.com Review
Windows XP is the operating system release that unifies the Microsoft range, with all the desktop versions now built on the NT/2000 code base rather than the shakier foundation of Windows 95, 98, and Me. That makes XP a great upgrade for users of the now-obsolete 9x and Me line, but for those already on Windows 2000 Professional it is a closer call. Despite the similar name, there is no special synergy between Windows XP and Office XP, which works fine on Windows 2000. XP certainly looks different, with rounded window corners, larger and more detailed icons, and a clean-look desktop that on first installation shows only the taskbar and Recycle Bin. XP is also more customizable than earlier versions of Windows, and includes visual themes that let you change the whole appearance of Windows in an instant. That is the window-dressing, but underneath are some significant improvements. One of the most interesting is Remote Desktop. A standard XP feature, this use… More >>

I purchased a package for window xp in may this year and just got a computer on which I wanted to use it. On Thursday Nov. 25, we wanted install it but the boot disk # 4 was observed to be problematic and thus the whole installation was not successful.
Please advice me.
Thanks

First off, for people who are complaining about installing Windows 2000, it only took my approx. 6 1/2 hours! I love it because every time I launch Internet Explorer it freezes! I also love that theres 42 spyware programs and 78 tojans on my harddrive before I even hooked up my internet. The one thing I love the most though is that I can download any movie I want. Like the recently video game adapted film Mortal Kombat! It was at full quality on my 28.8k modem and it took about 3 minutes. The blue sceen of death happens so often i just went ahead and set it as my desktop and my screensaver. I also bought the separate Ctrl Alt Del accesory pad, ive had it for about 2 days and i cant even tell what key is what anymore because i’ve used it so much. But all in all DOS has been a blessing, and i hope everyone embraces Windows 95 into their homes.

Welll I received xp pro as a gift. Problem was they purchased the full version not the upgrade. After reading all the negative reviews and what not I decided let me ask microsoft if using the full version would cause bugs. It’s labeled for new puters only right? Well they would be more than happy to answer my question … unless I register it first.
So I need to give them the product number and lose any chance I might have on a refund or pay … to answer that question. Can I use the full version. Because my manufacturer has posted one thing and Microsoft another. Not even going to play the tag game with microsoft nor will I pay … for the answer. I will send it back to my friend thank her for the gift and explain the option I had and why. It’s embarassing for me and the person giving the gift. But at least I know not to invest any large amount of money into microsft software if it’s not already on the puter I bought. don’t waste your money I have seen nothing but negative reviews every where.
