Strengths: Very stable, does not crash.

Weaknesses: Runs slower than Windows XP without the SP2 upgrade.

The upgrade went fairly smoothly, for a Microsoft product. Midway through the installation, the OS could not find my internet connection, causing some anxiety, but I just continued the process. At the very end, having congratulated me on completing the installation, the entire system hung up and could not be rebooted. Ultimately, I unplugged the computer, then plugged it back in and restarted it. After checking my hard drive because I had not closed Windows properly, it rebooted with all of the upgrade and all of my old files intact. Having installed the upgrade, I am satisfied with its daily operation.

You say that it runs slower with SP2 upgrade?!! *fear* *horror*

In that case, why not just get normal version and get nice firewall and anti virus etc.?

I am thinking of purchasing the WXP PS2 product for my laptop. I need to know some updated info of how well it works. Is it slow last past users say? Will I be able to set it up on my laptop without any problems? Will i be satisfied with the upgrade?

I tried downloading SP2 when it first came out. The installation went well, but then I began having major troubles with my computers. It ended up that I had to uninstall it on one of my computers, and totally wipe my other computer! After reinstalling XP without the SP2, everything is working smoothly and quickly again. I use my own antivirus, antispy and firewalls.

Now, though, I hear support for SP1 is ending this October. I really don't want to install SP2, but am at a loss as to what to do.
