Hey Bill - for added security (Reply to this comment)

For your information- Windows XP Home- You are able to limit what others can do to your computer example Have one account as Adminstrator(can be done in Home with a password)
if a Kid has access make his accounted a limited account- can't add certain software-make only changes in his account(folder example)can't access certain areas or make changes in those area's. (hardware-other things)
Admin password should be random (mine is 10 random alpanumaric long)

Dude! (Reply to this comment)

Thanx for the great review. I think I will stick to good old windows 98. I have learned to navigate it pretty well and change is not easy for me, lol.
I have heard horror stories from people who upgraded to new systems and a lot of their old software would not work. I've got tons of software and would hate to think of having to purchase newer versions.

Re: A few downsides (Reply to this comment)
by WildBillm
To be quite honest with you I haven't experienced any of those issues with professional.
I don't have any DOS games so I was not able to check that out, but from my understanding you are correct. XP does not like DOS anything. I have tried out the "Program Compatibility Wizard" and was able to get demo game made for windows 98 to run with no problems. I first tried to just play the game and it kept crashing. I then tried the "Program Compatibility Wizard" and got it to work. They claim might get older windows software to work with this program, but they didn't say anything about DOS.
Thanks for you comments.

A few downsides (Reply to this comment)
by NetDanzr
I've encountered a few downsides for which I dumped WinXP Pro altogether. Basically my main problem with this OS is that it forces added security and privacy on you, even if you don't want it. I did not figure a way, for example, to automatically apply all changes (such as desktop settings, bookmarks, etc) to all logins (need to keep multiple logins due to a LAN). Instead, all change had to be dragged into the general folder. The fact that I wasn't able to play older DOS games only added insult to the injury, and I switched back to my good old dual-boot MS-DOS 6.22/Windows 98 SE.
You were right - if it ain't broke, don't fix it :)
