better then vista (2007-11-11)

i hate to admit it being a geek, but in my time using computers, xp is a much better piece of kit. xp may be slower (only slightly) but isnt as demanding on your hardware. xp may not be as flashy or pretty, but at least it gets the job done, (my vista experience had one of my webpages crashing and then as a safety precaution shut down my computer, xp takes a while to fix it and then just gets on with it)sure vista will have some bugs, so thats another reason to get xp well at least untill they release a service pack for it.for gaming the direct x 10 feature of vista is a good thing, but on avergae you'll need twice the specs to run a game then if you did it on xp. and seen as though only a few games to my knowledge only support direct x 10 (a version of brothers in arms, halo 2 and bioshock... there may be more but i cant think of them atm) but most of the new games come with a backwards dx 9 compatibility. so for the moment wait to get vista, at least a year till the bugs get removed and its as workable as xp, but in the meantime, stick with xp.

Good product, am impressed (2007-07-28)

Have recently upgraded from windows 98 to XP and am impressed with my new, faster system that no longer crashes. I would say that if you are not that 'computer minded' it might be an idea to get somebody in the know to install this for you and check your system for compatibility. I didn't check my system and had a few problems with my modem but thats my own fault for not reading the instructions!!! Other than that a good product, if you haven't upgraded from windows 98 yet what are you waiting for?

A Good Windows Operating System (2007-04-11)

Windows Xp is is a good operating system based on Windows 2000 and Windows ME. But it is better than Windows ME. It has features Windows 98 and 95 don't have including system restore, Windows Media Player 11 and Internet Explorer 7.

Great for multimedia (2006-09-13)

If you haven't already upgraded from windows 98, then XP home is a good next step. It's multimedia capabilities allows the army of digital camera's, videos and other devices to be connected via usb2 ports. The world is changing fast so get XP!

Great service, simple installation (2006-09-04)

Ordered from Amazon Friday lunchtime, arrived Saturday morning. Started upgrade 15:00 and was complete at 17:00. No problems or major issues. Very pleased with level of service delivered by Amazon. No complaints about the product. Enough said.
