Windows XP Pro SP-2

Pros: very secure, highly capable, stable
Cons: product activation, program too large, requires too much RAM, expensive, one install/machine
Review: As a long-time user of Windows 2000 Professional, I finally bow to Windows XP Professional SP-2. Notice the important word "SP-2" (Service Pack 2). In August 2004, Microsoft released SP-2 patch files for Windows XP. At the same time, they released... Read Full Review
Bottom Line: Windows XP SP-2 has many useful features; it is quite secure on the internet or network group. But it's expensive and large, requiring expensive hardware for a smooth performance.

Pros: Lots of expensive s/w
Cons: It's STILL Windows
Review: Thank the Lord I only paid $8 as a college student. XP is barely better than 98. Can't turn off auto update without nag screen. Wish 2000 weren't so picky about software and user ID's and such or I'd switch. If I could get Linux to use modem I'd... Read Full Review

It's still Windows
zerotsm, Sep 17, 2005 11:27:35 PM
Pros: Better security than other Microsoft operating systems.
Cons: Bloated, you need a fast machine with lots of memory. Some machines can't handle it.
