Introduction
Windows XP Home Edition gives you the freedom to experience more than you ever thought possible with your computer and the Internet. This is the operating system home users have been waiting for—because it offers serious speed and serious stability, so you can have serious fun.
Good Points
Streamlined interface; better performance on many systems; easier and more capable networking; integrated CD-R/RW playback and burn features
Bad Points
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 Verdict
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
