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.

Way better than Vista

I have to laugh at the newbs talking about how Vista is better than XP. I have NEVER had a problem with XP and have installed it on many people's systems without fail. My network is primarily XP with a dual boot machine with XP and Vista. Always have driver problems when Vista is booted up. Have never had any crashing problems with XP. Bought a personal laptop with Vista on it to play around on and ended up putting XP on it because it was rotten.

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.

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
