    First of all, you can download Windows XP SP 2 from Internet if you have the original Windows XP.

    The main part of Windows, of what it deppend is DOS, originally called QDOS (Quick and Dirty OS, stealed by a bunch of hackers of a Informatical research company in the 70′s), Windows is a grafical adaptation of MS-DOS, not modified in the last 30 years (1975).

    Well, if you just win the challenge of installing Windows, so hard and problematic, you will see it will run for 4 days, then you enter a page, and you note that there are some new software already installed, that software that installed without your permission will help you to see 4 pop-up banners and web pages you dont want to look every 30 second and will send all your browsing habits to a unknow company without your permission.

    But, ¿How did this software installed itself?.

    !Yes! its Microsoft inovatory ActiveX, it even will let a web page to shut down your PC! or install publicity software or execute a code that will install a virus.

    The good security sistem will not protect you if a picture on a web page has a virus that will install itself and auto-send itself to your friends by mail.

    Well, Microsoft is interested in your privacy, they just have a copy of all the webpages you see and every email you receive, well if you delete Internet Explorer Cache, that should be erased from the PC, and it will be erased, but just the first copy, the second stays hidden for Microsoft or Other companies, well, Windows if for you, if Privacy is have your emails public for any hacker.

    But, why is possible to hack windows?, because it has Flaws, big holes that will let anyone enter, More than 2,000 have been discovered.

    Better not talk of the errors, you will get painfull experience with them it is just too much to talk about the errors. its recomended to re-format your PC every 6 months, and erase all your data.

    I Expended more than US$2,000 in a Soy Vaio PC, and i ended installing other OS.

    And then i had to buy a Mac, In Mac, is IMPOSSIBLE even let a software check something of your PC info of your mac without your confirmation.

    Viruses in mac, 3 discovered 10 years ago, they just where like a joke, in Windows, you will not get to run your PC again,,, or even they will damage your HD or your BIOS.

    If you do not want to expend thousands on reapairing your PC, just buy a Mac, you will not even need an Antivirus

    I do not recommend Windows, but if your going just to use it for four days only, it is OK to buy it.

    I have used windows for 5 years to get to know really know how it works.

    It doesnt Work.

    This operating system is a joke.

    Seriously it makes me laugh, they seem to replicate more and more features from Macintosh with each release of windows. Apple invented all of the ideas that are the base of this operating system inthe early 1980′s. Such as the idea of having an interface based on windows- ( you know the boxes with maxamize tabs and such). Oh and this thing is GREAT when it comes to security. Not only can a 12 year old hacker completely ruin your documents and mabybe even your hardware but you can accidently ruin your own comptuer if you aren’t very very careful. Let’s talk about bundled software. Oh I love internet explorer NOT. If your computer was a house using internet explorer would be the equivilent of leaving your front door open and inviting theifs into your home. Also this operating system comes with literally nothing useful- in it you will find something to the effect of a word processing program and a crappy movie editing program, anythign else you find will not fit your needs and you will need to buy more software. Say for example you buy XP, and you need microsoft word. The operating system will cost you about 100 and the office suite will cost 150+. If you own a macintosh you can simply buy iWork for 79 which is a better product for less. Windows is and always will be inferior to Macintosh.

    Get a Macintosh.

    why? cause it chokes up PROCESSING and RAM that’s why! its full of bugs and freezes frequently. [...]

    if you want stability get win2000. its ridiculous how they keep releasing new operating systems every year. XP = Xtra Problem.

    I have been using Microsoft Operating Systems for a very long time, and, i still say that this is the best System out there, for many reasons.

    An increasing amount of Linux and Mac users have made the claim that they are more compatible with programs, and are less vulnerable to virus and hacks.

    In Response to Linux Users-

    Stay away from Linux, Linux is free for a reason. It is compatible with very very few programs as it is, and that number will only decrease. For Gamers – Rarley do i see a Linux compatible game. Just stay away from this system.

    For Mac Users-

    Mac’s also have a lesser amount of compatible programs. Fewer and Fewer programs can run on them, and like linux, that number will only decrease. The only thing keeping Macintosh alive is Itunes. Which is compatible with Windows. Besides, When Direct X 10 Comes out, it will only be available for Windows, making Macintosh’s un-usable for new games when the next windows OS comes out (Microsoft Vista). The computers are also generally more expensive than Windows. Btw – You can get viruses on Mac’s.

    I’d avoid Windows XP AND XP Pro like the plague! Nothing but slower and slower processing, no DOS base if your files get infected or corrupted to boot into. If you feel you MUST buy an expensive Microsoft product (that BTW has you buying more MS products that are otherwise free on LINUX operating system, which BTW has many versions that are free too! AND are open-source, meaning that you can pick and choose what you wnat on your computer AND it will run 32, 64 and even 128 bit programs, which NO version of MS’s prducts do!), BUT if you feel that you MUST have MS Windows, then Windows 2000 Pro is the way to go. It is by far the most stable Operating system MS makes! This year (2006), I was told by a MS employee that they are coming out with Windows 2006 that is for 64 bit processors only, thus if you “upgrade”, you’ll have to likely buy a new computer to go with the new program (unless you already spent entirely too much money on a 64 bit computer) AND you’ll be adding to the millions of computers that are already in landfills, thus creating an environmental problem!

    Every person I know that has XP has a multitude of problems with XP, and in “Microslop Style”, they are STILL trying to fix Windows 2000′s problems and crating more updates to this day!!! (Some of which I *suspect* aren’t actual upgrades, but instead are created with intentinal glitches which are designed to screw up your computer so you’ll buy a new one!)

    If you want a great, reliable and stable operating system for your computer, get LINUX! YOu can make it run just like Windows, but be *SURE* you also buy LINUX-compatable peripherals, such as your camera, printer, etc.!!! (Some are for Windows only, which is why there are *SO* many antitrust suits against Microsoft apparently!!!) If you buy software that can run in LINUX, then you’ll be able to use it for ANY operating system! (except perhaps for some deranged crap that MS puts out!)

    XP crashes the more it is used, runs slower and slower the more it is used, and the programming is simply sloppy (anyone who’s ever programmed even in BASIC can tell that by the way it runs!)

    AND BTW, LINUX has so much freeware that you won’t need to buy other extremely expensive programs as there are a multitude of free programs for photo processing & editing (which is better than the leading brand name program for this very purpose AND is easier to use, educational games for the kids, editing for movies, and on and on! LINUX is set up by the user, and while it may take a bit of work to set up is well worth the effort AND will save you tons of time and money in the long run!

    LINUX is not only free, but is also nearly virus-free! (and if you set up the firewall and antivirus software correctly then not only will you NOT get infected, as with Windows, you can (for entertainment) set up another free program to watch those viruses, that were written by simply mean people that outta be jailed for life, simply splat onto a file if you wish – not affecting your FREE LINUX operating system OR the programs you run on your computer (AND BTW, you can also use the Windows emulator for those Windows programs you already have, but after time will likely get rid of them for better and FREE LINUX open-source programs, BUT LINUX will still be able to play your games, run your financial software (and more securely) and OH! Did I mention that on LINUX it’s all FREE (including the operating system and Windows emulator???!!!???)

    I think Microsoft is getting ready to simply put themselves out of business with the poorly-written software they put out. I have a SMALL partition on my HD that has Windows 2000 Pro on it for my old camera and goofing off, but when I get my new one, Windows will be history. Nearly everyone I know is converting to LINUX (especially the XP users that are RUNNING to LINUX because they are tired of their computers crashing!)

    MS blew it when they released XP (worse than they blew it before with their other OSs that need constant updates to even run properly, and whn they blew the updates, everyone with XP had their computers blue-screening (crashing) and thus not working at all.

    All I can say is Microsoft better come out with something better, more stable and complete (and with a LINUX or DOS-based back-door if computers are messed up by viruses, bad programming in the Windows program itself, etc.) or they are going to put themselves right out of business! They’ve lost me and many people I know as a result of XP’s release.

    XP is easy to work at first for novice computer users (but then it’s not any more to learn how to use LINUX, but after time, it seems inevidible that it WILL CRASH and those irreplaceable pictures, recipes, etc. may be gone after it does!
