The Most Reliable Operating System!
By building on the proven Windows® 2000 operating system, Windows® XP Professional delivers a reliable foundation you can count on to keep your computer up and running when you need it most. Not only is Windows® XP more reliable, it also helps you more easily recover from system problems. Windows® XP Professional delivers the new standard in reliability and performance. This operating system is designed for businesses of all sizes and for users who demand the most from their computing experience.**

Benefits

Designed for reliability, security and privacy, high performance, and ease of use, the Windows® XP operating system provides a host of benefits for business and home users. A clean and simple desktop, rock-solid reliability, and easy-to-use features that take advantage of the digital age all contribute to the value of Windows® XP.

Enhancements in real-time voice, video, and data communications will allow the PC to become a center of communications and creativity beyond just e-mail and instant messaging. Windows® XP will also allow the user to connect back to the desktop from any location, and support for new wireless networks will be built in. Windows® XP will unify the user's support experience by enabling the user to provide temporary and secure control of their PC over the Internet to whomever can best help them.

Windows® XP takes an end-to-end approach to how people transfer videos and pictures onto their computer, how they use them on their PC and other devices, and how they share them, whether in person or through e-mail, over the Web, or through removable media like DVDs and CDs. It extends this experience through applications that help users buy music and videos, mobile devices, services for saving your music on the Internet, and more. Windows® XP will make it easier for households to share a single PC and share pictures, music, files, printers, and other resources.

Note: This version of Microsoft Windows XP cannot be upgraded from earlier versions of Windows. If your operating system is Windows 2000/ME/98 you must backup your data before installation. This OEM version will only allow a clean Install, and your existing data will be deleted.

Top 10 Reasons for Moving to Windows® XP Professional with SP2

  • Business-Level Reliability
    Windows® XP delivers a new level of stability, so you can focus on your work. For example, in most cases, if one program crashes, your computer will keep running.
  • Advanced Performance
    Windows® XP manages system resources efficiently, to keep your system running as fast as possible even when you're working with multiple programs at the same time.
  • Remote Desktop
    Remote Desktop allows you to create a virtual session and use your desktop computer from another computer running Windows® 95 or later, giving you access to all of your data and applications even when you're not in your office.
  • New Task-based Visual Design
    Get to your most commonly used tasks quickly, thanks to a cleaner design and new visual cues.
  • Wireless 802.1x Networking Support
    Wireless 802.1x Networking Support provides support for secured access, as well as performance improvements for wireless networks.
  • Windows® Messenger
    Windows® Messenger is the easy way to communicate and collaborate in real time on your computer. You can see the online status of your contacts and choose to communicate with them through text, voice, or video with better performance and higher quality.
  • Encrypting File System
    Encrypting File System provides a high level of protection from hackers and data theft by transparently encrypting files with a randomly generated key.
  • Fast Resume from Hibernation or Standby
    Save battery power when you're working on the road. With Windows® XP your laptop can enter Standby or Hibernate faster, and it can start working again faster after resuming from Standby or Hibernation.
  • Help and Support Center with Remote Assistance
    In addition to a comprehensive set of documentation, Help and Support Center in Windows® XP includes Remote Assistance, which allows you to have a friend or IT professional who is also running Windows® XP remotely control your computer to demonstrate a process or help solve a problem.
  • System Restore
    If something goes wrong with your computer, you can revert the system back to a previous state.

A PC based on the Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor with HT Technology (Hyper-Threading) improves processor performance and responsiveness, giving you the power to do more tasks on your PC at once such as playing a game while encoding digital music or editing digital video while encoding digital music. This groundbreaking technology from Intel enables the processor to execute two threads (a part of a program) in parallel. So your software can run more efficiently and you can multitask more effectively than ever before.

Minimum System Requirements: Pentium 233 Mhz. 64 MB RAM. 1.5 GB free hard disk space. Super VGA (800x600). CD-ROM or DVD drive. Keyboard and Microsoft® Mouse or compatible pointing device.

Licensing Information: You receive a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) and a CD containing the program on it.

Technical Support Information: Since this is an OEM operating system it does not come with any free technical support. Telephone technical support is available through a paid service via a toll-free number and a charge per call. The phone number is included on your packing slip when you order.

Returns policy: OEM software is not returnable for any reason.

I really dont get what all the OS griping is about. If you have an old machine and its not running right, you cant just slap in a new OS to fix all your problems. I have never upgraded an OS on a MS compatible system. If i really really really want a new OS, its time to start with a new system and then start adding the old hardware to see if it is compatible. I've been using VISTA without difficulty for months, its a slick package minus a few quirks. But of course it came pre installed on a quad core off the shelf system, and i have been very careful to only upgrade it with vista certified hardware....but thats about as tough as putting the right oil in your car...

Read the find print! Technical Support Information: Since this is an OEM operating system it does not come with any free technical support. Telephone technical support is available through a paid service via a toll-free number and a charge per call. The phone number is included on your packing slip when you order. Returns policy: OEM software is not returnable for any reason. If like me you like saving money this is a great offer! OEM = money in your pocket.

XP Pro is a great operating system, however a BIG caution to people who buy an OEM license and have no idea what that means. OEM licenses are cheaper for several reasons, and lack of packaging is NOT one of them! An OEM license may be installed on one machine only, AND NEVER LEGALLY transfered to ANY OTHER MACHINE! An OEM license also DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY SUPPORT from Microsoft. An OEM license was designed for HP or Dell, and part of the legal agreement when buying an OEM license is that the OEM will support the software. If you buy an OEM license you agree to provide support to yourself! If you don't have the skills buy a retail license.

To ''The Old Man'': If you cannot install an operating system without help you are better off sticking to your Apples!!! Windows XP-Pro is easy to install and works like a dream.

What You Should Know

* The above values are for physical, not usable memory.

The amount of memory that your system reports, is not always the amount of actual installed memory. For example, if you have 4GB installed, 32 bit versions of Windows will typically report 3.2GB due to a limitation of Windows itself.  Also note that different Windows programs report available and maximum memory differently, which can be confusing. If you find that you need more memory, we suggest expanding your system memory, since this is the most effective performance increase, and the one that is easiest to perform.
