"Upgrading to XP solved most of my computer problems."
Pros: Stability and compatibility: XP has them. I'm not an early adopter of new OS but when I finally (and reluctantly) upgraded to XP I was pleasantly surprised to find that it completely eliminated the compatibility and stability issues that had plagued me fo
Cons: Continues the MS trend of hiding important settings in the Registry where they are almost impossibly difficult for the average user to locate and understand. Note to Bill Gates: stop treating your customers like dumb clutzes who can't be trusted to touch

"XP PRO = 2000 PRO + SUPER-COOL-NESS"
Pros: OK, most people writing these have been only using Windows since 95. Ive been using Miscrosoft Operating systems since MSDOS (via 5 1/4 inch Diskette) on an 8086. XP has the BEST hardware compatibilty. WHY? BECAUSE ITS THE MOST RECENT O/S. COMPUTER COMPAN

"Windows XP, the true XPrience from Micro$oft-as it claims"
Pros: Handy features, Nice eye candies. Ability to detect devices and install them without any help. Nice help features. User friendly.
Cons: The features should have been implemented on previous windows o/s and not only right now. Unecessary to have all the fancy effects. High system requirements. Does not support old drivers. And the LAME REACTIVATION process when you changed new hardwares. P
