Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Better than Vista, quick booting, more features than XP Home

Weaknesses:Default interface is annoying, somewhat bloated

Overall Evaluation: I bought this software to replace the Windows Vista that came with my new laptop. I would much rather use the "outdated" XP than the latest incarnation of Windows. Despite its shortcomings, XP is a decent operating system, one of the better ones Microsoft has developed. The academic pricing brings this OS down to a bargain price, instead of the obscene retail price. I recommend this software to anyone looking for a usable Microsoft OS.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Must have this operating system to be able to use certain software

Weaknesses:Too much software to do so little

Overall Evaluation: I tried Vista Home Premium and am back grading to XP Pro. XP Pro is much better at most functions that an operating system must perform. It is a shame that Microsoft has to shove so much unneeded "required" functionality up our RAM to just be able to boot up a personal computer.

Duration of ownership: 1 Months

Strengths: Got exactly what was represented

Weaknesses:None

Overall Evaluation: I bought this to use as a replacement when I (intentionally) lobotomized my wife's Acer that came with Windows Vista, a truly horrific OS that has no place on a PC.This vendor's product had a proper, never-used reg# and worked exactly as expected.100% happy.
