CNET Editors' review - Microsoft Windows XP - Home Edition
Hide

Excellent

8.0

out of 10
CNET Editor's rating: 8.0 out of 10
Reviewed by Matt Lake
Review date: 9/3/01

The good: Streamlined interface; better performance on many systems; easier and more capable networking; integrated CD-R/RW playback and burn features.

The bad: You can install XP on only one machine; piddling discounts for additional PC licenses; nags you to sign up for Passport Web account; multiple-user login screens are often redundant; heavy system requirements.

The bottom line: XP is a worthwhile upgrade from 95/98 or Windows 2000. Unless you need corporate administration tools, XP Home Edition should suffice for most--even for small businesses.

I can see if you have 2000 or 98.
All it did was fix a few minor things and give you an ugly interface. Read more
