Pros:More multimedia/gamer oriented than 2k, without the instability of 9x.
Cons:Greater system overhead, hefty price tag.
The Bottom Line: If you have a fairly high end system, buy it!
Microsoft revolutionized the personal computer world with Windows 3.0, then again, 6 years ago, with 95. Their goal is to do it a third time.
By all appearances, they have.
WindowsXP combines all the multimedia power of DOS-based Win9x (95, 98, ME) with the system stability and superior architecture of UNIX-based NT (NT, 2k), the result is a robust, versatile desktop environment that is designed with the needs of the end-user in mind. Crashes are rare, and when they do happen, the system recovers gracefully. A plethora of user-friendly system features such as System Rollback and the Network Connection Wizard make it not only the most user-friendly operating system on the market, but also the most powerful.
I have been using XP since the early beta stages, and can safely say that it has and will revolutionize the computer industry. If you're not running XP on your home computer, you should be.
