 Good windows product March 3, 2006

Item works as expected for upgrading from ME version and transferring existing configurations successfully. Nice stable environment now and other software works when previous version of windows did not.
 I was forced to update by my ISP... January 9, 2007

I'd been using Win98 on an old Dell Optiplex 100 with a 466 Mhz processor and 378K of RAM. This machine is near the minimum for WinXP and I did not want to upgrade, but I was forced to when my ISP's "free" security software no longer supported Win98. Now the machine spends most of its' time and resources processing updates and "hangs" frequently whenever some software vendor decides to issue another upgrade. It recently took me over an hour of sitting around waiting to do this review when Adobe Acrobat 7.08 decided it wanted the machine and took over.
I was forced to abandon input of this review and go to another computer and re-enter. When I left the computer it was at 78% of some background download of a Microsoft update to something, and the Adobe 7.09 installation process had been saying that it was withing 59 seconds of completion for about 45 minutes.
I HATE THE WAY EVERY SOFTWARE DEVELOPER ASSUMES THAT COMPUTER RESOURCES ARE FREE AND ASSUMES THAT HIS/HER APPLICATION TAKES PRIORITY OVER EVERYTHING ELSE, EVEN THE OWNER OF THE COMPUTER AND WHAT IT IS THAT THE COMPUTER IS INTENDED TO BE USED FOR! It wasn't that way back when computers were big and expensive.

Now that XP is obsolete I have finally upgraded to it and wish I had done it sooner. Everything runs better with it. (I was running Windows ME before) There were a few glitches but I got a notice from XP with the problems I might find after the upgrade and the how to's to fix them. All in all I am very happy with the product and Amazon.com

I waited until the last moment, but when I heard MS stopped shipping XP I knew I had to take the plunge.
Time to toss the well worn copy of 98 and upgrade!
I was worried about my old machine handling XPsp2, but it did. After disabling some of the advanced features my computer actually runs a bit quicker now.
The upgrade process went without a hitch. Make sure to use the dynamic update option and it will automatically update your incompatible drivers.
Fired right up after a very long installation and 86! updates from MS and blows away 98 when it comes to crashes. Used to be a daily routine, now i forgot what that blue screen even looks like.

This was easier to install than expected, even though we had a couple glitches even after doing a test scan to see what we needed to do to prep for the install, after uninstalling a couple programs we were up and running in no time. Windows XP itself is very easy to use also. Makes doing things alot easier and faster. Anyone who has Windows should upgrade to XP.
