What Customers Say About Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition [Old Version]:

I went to put this on my computer and already had a better version on my computer, so I couldn't use it

I ordered a copy of xp for a secondary computer's operating system, and I recieved the order in a few days, in great condition. As a matter of fact, I got the order before my computer was done being built. Recommeded highly, and thanks again you guys.

This operating system was one of the most unsatisfactory I have ever used--including DOS, Win 3.1, Windows 95 and Windows 98. I had to hire an expensive data recovery guru-another story in itself. My computer was completely compromised. Most important, the program is highly susceptible to viruses and hackers. After my dreadful experience with XP Home Edition, I have sworn off Windows forever. Preventing these two problems requires expensive add-on software and hardware. Aside from being incompatible with older hardware, XP Home Edition crashes frequently-particularly if you like to work with several windows open at once. Even reinstalling the program did not solve the problem.

True enough, the built-in firewall OUGHT to work. But in my case, hackers got in anyway. I was eventually forced to junk the machine. Mac and Linux are both far superior.

They have different screen savers and I am not sure witch I like more. What do I mean. Sometimes, Windows XP gives you the XP face. Signed, StoryMaker. Next, screen savers. You should buy 1 Win XP and one Win 98/95.

Sometimes, it gives you the C: face. Sometimes, it gives you that face. Look at C: sideways. Well, anyways, something I don't like is it advertises that a wide variety of programs run on it. I'm StoryMaker. Only something I like about it is it is brighter. Win 95 & 98 are dull with no full-color photo desktops but with XP it's so bright.

Windows XP & Windows 95-98 all have screen savers, little previews that, when computer not played with enough, show up. To change the SS or preview the SS, right-click the desktop and select "Properties" from the list and click the screen savers tab. Many programs DO NOT work on Win XP. Look at XP sideways. Win 95-98 have "3D Maze", Win XP has lots of 3D shape SS's.

I don't like that because IT'S NOT TURE. Petz 3, Petz 4, and Babyz don't work on Win XP inless you do what I explain in my Babyz review. And I like how Win XP recognizes Jpegs & Gifs, not Win 95-98. "Gotta trust the kid's review."

Please don't buy the WinXP upgrade because for one thing I had to renstall it 5 to maybe 6 times and when you do that your harddrive will make sounds. It might make a click sound. I would reccomend the full version of XP. It's so much better.
