- National Disgrace
- It is a national disgrace that Microsoft keeps ripping off the public by selling this garbage software.

- The most expensive JUNK ever
- I've used various forms of windows products since windows 3.1. Though I can agree with many of the gripes that people have with the operating system itself, my complain is with is version so people can know what they are getting into:
The install is fairly straightforward and most people that can figure out a basic install shouldn't have much of a problem getting things started, after that it becomes a dedicated nightmare. After the initial install the system failed to recognize ANY of my basic setup componants:
I was doing a basic format and reinstall of a Dell 2.4 gig system with 512mb of RAM running a cable internet line through a router that connected my laptop and an xbox. First off it wouldn't even recognize my monitor (which is extremely dated (pre flatscreen) so I was only able to get a 600 x 800 screen resolution at 16 bit. (Under the old install I had no problems) There was no included basic drivers available on the cd for my monitor to manually install one myself and since the problem of it not recognizing my cable line I couldn't even download it myself which brings up another major set up problems. Basically I recieved a shell of an OS which seems to be lacking all the major things I've had on any other windows CD before. (I've been through plenty of installs in the past)
I can fix all this eventually by manually downloading drivers and such off my laptop, burning them to cd and carrying the disk into the living room to install them but why should I have to? If I hadn't had an alternate source to do this I would have been SCREWED!!
I basically blew the money on this OS install when for another $50 I could have picked up a POS bargain basement computer and saved myself the hassle.
Save yourself and do the same and stay away from this package. There are plenty other alternatives out there! - 2008-01-09, 5 of 6 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Activation Code For Windows XP
- Since people are selling used copies of Windows XP, what I haven't seen addressed is how do you use the Activation Key if this product has already been used. If you don't have a Valid Activation Key for this product, you will have a locked up computer after 30 days, unless you purchase a NEW, VALID Activation Key!

- What a jump back!
- My new XP computer is just filled with garbage directory on top of garbage directory on top of directory. I expect that Vista will further the tradition that Bill Gates began and is extending. It's not that I understand there is a choice? I try to live in the real world that Micro-soft seems to be doing their very best to undermine with a new and worse operating system every couple of years. I suppose Gates is making more and more and more while he rips the world off, more and more and more. It is a disgrace to the USA and the earth. I think we could put Mr. Gates in prison, where he belongs, and reclaim our world. Thankyou.
