While Windows generally has been a klunky interface, XP is really finally one of the more finished products from MS. I just recently upgraded to the MacBook Pro and with Parallels I'll finally be able to work with the very few Windows applications that I need. It works great with Parallels.

As I had commented earlier, my biggest business demand is for people wanting to upgrade to Win 2000 from Win XP. I have seen people scream at the XP operating system. I have seen people get peeved with their "helpful" relatives who had upgraded their system from Win 98 or Win 2000 without their knowledge. XP is slow, buggy, instrusive and easily infected. It is the leper and syphilic of OS's. Do yourself a favor for your business and your family peace. Avoid XP at all costs. All those other people recommeding XP on other websites(Present Amazon company excluded. I am convinced of their sincerity!), makes me wonder if this is astroturf marketing from Redmond.

To purchase XP Professional or XP Home that was the question having already purchased two editions of XP Home, decided to try XP Pro... for what??? because it is named Professional? Oh well, if it wasn't for not being able to port some rather specialized software apps, it would be a no-brainer... GET FEDORA CORE!!! and leave M$ products to those that want to have something to always have to worry about..! If you are not upgrading to Vista, and need to keep XP... use the Home edition. Pro is not worth the difference in cost...really.
 The best operating system ever yet! February 26, 2007

Microsoft Windows XP Professional delivers on its title's promise -- is a the best operating system for everyone, not just the experienced professional (as it is noted in a Microsoft book, "XP" stands for "experienced"). It is based on the Windows NT and Windows 2000 code, and not the Windows 95/98/ME code, thus making the using of computers better for everyone. Also, it is the best and most popular operating system on the market (at least 65% of servers and all computers run Windows XP Professional), partly because it has Internet Information Server for making web publishing easy with an operating system that is reliable and also is easy. With Service Pack 2, we get more security and the ability to use Office 2007. There is beeter networking and user account management as well. By the way, in addition to all these "professional" features, Microsoft Windows XP Professional also has everything that Windows XP Home Edition and Windows XP Media Center Edition have to offer, thus making Windows XP Professional usable for personal use as well. Therefore, Microsoft Windows XP Professional should certainly be given due consideration.
 Works fine but not an "Apple" November 2, 2006

Is fine unless you've been in the "Mac" world and it is cumbersome in comparison.
