Windows XP: Play by Play

The bottom line is that Windows XP is an excellent operating system. I like its new design. I have found that over time, it is even easier to use than Windows 2000. It has increased support for new hardware, tighter integration of various PC tasks, and increased reliability.


I think that a lot of people would do well upgrading to XP. People who use ancient DOS only software will want to do a double take, because as Microsoft moves on, legacy support for old DOS products will fall by the wayside. People who use Windows 2000 can hold off on this unless they really want to jump onto the bandwagon. Windows 2000 and XP are pretty much similar once you take the new interface out of the equation. Windows 9x users should definitely upgrade for increase reliability and stability, if nothing else. Just make sure that those of you using older versions of Windows have the computing horsepower necessary to run this thing.
