 Win 98 to Win XP sp 2 upgrade -- creates more problems than it solves, 2007-05-12
Wife's computer did not have access to the internet, she complained, I puchased a USB wireless router for my PowerMac 4 and USB wireless adapter for her PC. The appeal of USB hookup being the hardware determining factor. Alas, the adapter would not work with Win 98 according to the manufacturer. I decided to upgrade her system to Win XP. Installation of XP went smoothly, the wireless network worked beautifully -- no files or data were lost; however, most every device attached to the WIN XP would not work because of driver incompatibilities. I had to contact NUANCE for scanner drivers ( and had to upgrade my Paperport software from Ver 6xx to version 7xx. My 2 printers required drivers from SONY and HP in order to work. My IOMEGA Zip required a new driver, my USB hub -- same. And WIN XP refuses to recognize my sound card so that I have lost sound capabilities. Microsoft has tried to solve my problem and their expert spent hours trying drivers from my original Win 98 CD -- no luck. They even tried to contact SONIC for a driver, this is still an open mattter awaiting solution. Bottomline: Win XP upgrade works fine, Microsoft support is very good, but upgrading created more problems than it solved.

 This is my fourth license, 2007-04-29
I don't think that Windows XP needs more recommendations but this is my fourth purchase of XP.
I wanted all of my computers to have the same operating system so I opted out of Vista. I build my own computers and always buy the Retail version so I can change computers without having to buy a new OS.

Best Windows OS Ever!, 2007-04-11
I have been using Windows since Windows 95, and have used every OS since. I have XP on my laptop and it is the best! I've been reading reviews saying that XP is bad, and I have NEVER encountered a problem. If you want an OS that will do everything you need, then get XP now before they get rid of it. Just so you know, I think Vista is trash. XP is better.

 I wish I had upgraded sooner, 2007-04-03
Now that XP is obsolete I have finally upgraded to it and wish I had done it sooner.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
It still Windows..., 2007-03-26
It is far superior to the Windows ME that I took out of a buddies PC but it is still Windows...
