Summary: windows xp
Comment: this product arrived promptly, however had a blemish on the disk that caused only a portion of xp to load. after a series of helpful emails during which the seller tried to help me work around the problem;to no avail, he contacted microsoft on his own, without me asking, and got them to replace the item, which arrived promptly. it was rare for a disk to be defective as microsoft has excellent quality control. unfortunately, this has screwed up my apple so i have a portioned harddrive with a bad section of windows on it. (i have a mac) apple says its a windows problem, microsoft says its on a mac so its a mac problem. nobody knows how to fix it. inspect any software carefully prior to running to avoid a huge hassle.

Summary: XP Home Edition
Comment: Thank goodness someone still had this item. I bought it because I do not like Vista. My computer crashed and lost everything. Had to start over.
This was very easy to install and works like a charm. No problems at all. I would do it all over again in a minute if I had to.

Comment: I was ripped off, the product did not load correctly, after 9 tries and various help desk calls, I gave up!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Man, I hate Windows.
Comment: I only run this product out of necessity, and even then it's in VMware Fusion 2 on my Mac. Oh, yes, I used to have PCs, and I used Windows. 3.1, 95, 98, ME, XP... It's all the same. All MS seems to do is pile more code on top of older code, and patch it daily to make it stay together.
Bottom line: This is fine for getting some PC-only work done on your Mac, but don't put yourself through it if you can use a different OS like Linux or OS X. Windows is a serious pain in the butt. Everything is a struggle. It's not at all intuitive. While OS X does things like read and write .PDF files natively and plays DVDs without paying for a plug-in, Windows makes each little thing you want to do require extra software, extra drivers, extra licensing fees, and a lot of crossed fingers hoping that these components don't cancel each other out.
I'm hoping to try Vista some time. It may have had a bad launch, but at least Vista isn't a 13-year-old product that just has bugfixes and patches over it to modernize it. At the root, Windows XP is just the final version of the beta we called Windows 95.
