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 SP3

  • 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.

Windows 2000, XP basically same OS is the best operating system put out until now. 7 ultimate now has that claim to fame. It is a combination of the best of both XP and Vista, however more enhanced than either. Unlike Vista, it doesn't hog your resources. unlike XP and vista, it installs on your computer in 25 minutes or less depending on your haerdware, and it loads up in 5 minutes or less. Until now I would have never considered giving up my XP pro SP 3 OS, because it is more reliable than Vista, however Wiondows both.


XP Pro is better

I have both OS systems,Vista Pro and XP Pro. XP Pro is far better to work with. I found that I dislike Vista; I've had to re-install it twice because of system crashes.

Far better than Vista, (Learning curve? Seriously? Vista is the worst OS known to mankind. Sluggish, big, and has the worst compatibility with hardware that I've ever seen.) If you're sick of Vista then get this. :)

I am glad I can still buy XP Pro. Having a business with a lot a equipment that is not compatible with Vista, it helps being able to purchase XP Pro for any new computer. Microsoft blow it and tried to bully everyone into Vista and it backfired. I will buy Vista When all the kinks are sorted out, until then I am using XP Pro

I don't even know if that guy even knows what he is talking about. Crashing? Maybe its your own human error? Or the computer you have? All the computers I have been building all have XP on them, and if you are wondering what computers I build they are all gaming computers. None of them are crashing or failing. Ask my cousin, uncle, and myself. All the XP computers I built are still alive today and the oldest computer I built with XP is about 3 years old and I have never had to reinstall or reformat anything. XP is the way to go.

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.
