Microsoft Windows XP Professional UpgradeStrengths: Stable operation, excellent GUI, identifies driver compatibility, driver rollback, system restore, added functionally for example CD Burner software Weakness: More expensive than past upgrades, closed architecture, requires upgrading many applications to run in native mode.

Microsoft Windows XP Professional UpgradeStrengths: My review is on Pricegrabber. Weakness: Not XP The price that Pricegrabber shows for XP in $154 for a OEM version. It shows AtomicParks price at $198, but that is the RETAIL package. Their price for the OEM is $155. Truth in advertising fellows!

Weakness: Needs a lot of memory
Windows XP Professional is best used through an advanced upgrade option, not using FAT32 option. The NTFS option uses the latest in NT technology. I found that upgrading from Windows 98SE being the best, checking that the UDMA options are disabled in the BIOS, because if not the installation would be interrupted with STOP errors, which will plague the bootup every time. Only when I had disabled...
