5.0 out of 5 stars Windows XP Professional, Jun 23 2004

By	Carol R. Strong (Forest Hills, New York United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have been a freelance translator for the past 15 years; and as such, was forced to learn how to operate a computer at a rather advanced age. That was during 1990. I started with a plain little computer, no WYSIWYG. . .and I can't even remember what the operating system was, but it was, most assuredly built by Bill Gates and was not yet "Windows".
I have FINALLY GRADUATED to this WONDERFUL version of Windows. . Windows XP Professional, the zenith of operating systems. I assure anyone who is reading this, that it is a most worthwhile investment. No more crashes. The computer even TELLS YOU when it has "indigestion". I love it. I cannot believe how good it is. I recommend it most heartily to everyone. You will certainly not be sorry once you load it on to your computer.

2.0 out of 5 stars Pretty but LINUX IS BETTER, CHEAPER, May 31 2004

By A Customer

Linux is a better and cheaper operating system. A free download (such as Mandrake 10) includes what would be thousands of dollars worth of software if it was a MS operating system. The GIMP, while not as polished as Photoshop, is also free (Unlike Photoshop for windows, which is almost $1000). In my opinion, I would rather spend $0.00 on linux and spend the money I saved upgrading my computer. I would go with Linux if I were you (even has an office suite that works with MS Office documents). You won't regret it.
