Windows XP

A big improvement over 98 which seemed to crash on me no end of times. The only solution seemed to be to re-install the thing. I did however have to upgrade from 64 meg of memory to 256 to get XP running fine and you do need a pretty modern machine to run it. The installation process is fool proof but I have heard of XP crashing during installation on low spec machines and you are in a whole host of problems if that occurs. Complete format no doubt. I basically can't come up with any faults in the way XP runs apart from one thing. I hope I am allowed to post this here, but XP will not allow you to install pirate software. If you are a poor student like myself then this can be a big problem. Pirate software is very common on university campus's so that students can work on projects at home and not on fully booked university networks. I guess it depends how honest you are if this is a plus or minus.

Windows is an operating system developed by Microsoft that has become the most popular operating system used by personal computers. Windows has been released in many version such as 3.11, 95, 98, 2000 and XP. Sometimes lamented for being bloated and oversized Windows has still continued to be the most popular OS around, mainly for being easy to understand and install for first time users.
