Windows XP Professional W/SP2 Reviews

Stable and dependable, still 2x faster than Vista with SP 1
Its a Microsoft product with too much overhead at times.

This license was for a new PC I built. I still prefer XP Pro over Vista because of stability, reliability, and lower system resource overhead. It's way faster than Vista and very compatible with just about any software app out there. Even so, over a period of 1-2 years the registry loads up with junk, especially if apps are being added or removed, and it begins to slow down or do the unexpected at times. Unless something radical happens with Vista in a future SP, I'm sticking with XP until the next Microsoft OS is ready for prime time.

Better than Vista, quick booting, more features than XP Home
Default interface is annoying, somewhat bloated

I bought this software to replace the Windows Vista that came with my new laptop. I would much rather use the "outdated" XP than the latest incarnation of Windows. Despite its shortcomings, XP is a decent operating system, one of the better ones Microsoft has developed. The academic pricing brings this OS down to a bargain price, instead of the obscene retail price. I recommend this software to anyone looking for a usable Microsoft OS.

Must have this operating system to be able to use certain software
Too much software to do so little

I tried Vista Home Premium and am back grading to XP Pro. XP Pro is much better at most functions that an operating system must perform. It is a shame that Microsoft has to shove so much unneeded "required" functionality up our RAM to just be able to boot up a personal computer.

Very helpful and quick delivery. Highly recommend! I had an installation problem and they were right on it. Problem solved promptly and had me up and running quickly. Thanks again!

Got exactly what was represented
None

I bought this to use as a replacement when I (intentionally) lobotomized my wife's Acer that came with Windows Vista, a truly horrific OS that has no place on a PC.This vendor's product had a proper, never-used reg# and worked exactly as expected.100% happy.
