Review by Old-and-Wise

I did my 100th upgrade to Windows XP Pro today, for a new client. All 100 installations went smoothly without a hitch, and the 60+ that have been running for over 2 months have been running rock solid. If you are coming from Windows 2000 Professional, expect a slight speed increase (assuming you have at least 256MB of RAM) and better stability. None of the installations I have done, ranging from single desktop workstation to servers to WiFi-enabled laptops, has experienced any crash. [Of course, the fact that I’m paid to do a good job must have something to do with it. ;) ]nThe upgrade price is a bit too steep if you are already running Windows 2000. If you have Windows 95, 98 or ME, then you should probably opt for Windows XP Home edition, which is considerably less expensive and just as speedy and stable as the professional edition… and will make your PC computing life so much more enjoyable.nHighly recommended.
