Additional Licenses Cleverly Hidden,
By
This review is from: Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Upgrade [Old Version] (CD-ROM)
Hopefully this review prompts Amazon to unhide their links to purchasing additional licenses to Windows XP Home Edition Upgrades. I have 4 computers and am faily pissed to find Bill Gates picking my pocket on licenses for each but then when my favorite retailer has no clue how to sell them to me.... Welcome to the world run by microsoft!!!! NAH they're not a monopoly!!!!

The BEST Operating System for Home Use!,
By AR_Linux_User "SG" (Arkansas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Upgrade [Old Version] (CD-ROM)
Windows XP is the best Operating system from Microsoft for the home user. It is rock solid, great performance, and best of all 1000's of software titles to choose from.Do not fall for the Linux hype, you will lose any functionality you can have with Windows. Microsoft did their homework on Windows XP, if you have a digital camera plug it in, and it does the rest. I have used Windows XP since it was released and never had any problems out of it. Different users can have their own profiles and settings, it is just awesome! If you have Windows 98 or the later, you need to upgrade to Windows XP and you will never look back!

Cleanest Windows OS yet,
By Jeffrey E "jeffinaustintx" (Austin, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition Upgrade [Old Version] (CD-ROM)
I recently upgraded form Windows 98 to XP on my home PC. I use Windows 2000 at work and I have to say that XP is by far the best choice for the home PC. I did the XP Upgrade and I must say that is was extremely easy to convert my 98 system to XP. I takes A L-O-N-G time to do the install (a single cd, yet prepare to spend about 2 hours once you hit "go"). MOST IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER.... If you do nothing else to prepare for the upgrade; take the time to run the hardware & software compatibility check before you commit yourself to the install. This is most critical & here's a good example. The driver for my PC's modem/chipset was incompatible with XP. This was highlighted when I ran the test and it allowed me to retrieve the updated driver before launching the upgrade. If I had not done this, then I would have been toast. After the upgrade I would not have been able to use my modem to access the internet to get the new driver after the fact. So do yourself a favor, run the test, print it out, get all your patches beforehand & you'll save yourself a ton of frustration and wasted time. Other than that it's great and very easy to load. They did a great job with the user interface and instructions. It was a no brainer to install. Just remeber to read everything first, run the compatibility test, print out the important stuff (it even tells you what the important stuff is!) and get your patches before you hit "go". Now go & dump your 5 year old OS and get up to date.
