Windows XP is the best Operating I have ever seen. Very Stable. Hasn\'t crahed on me since I installed it last month. It has some compatibility issues though. My DVD drive no longer responds and my my keyboard has some difficulties with. The Multimedia keys on it do not respond, but the rest of the keyboard responds fine. I like the fade effect for the start menu and the cleartype font. This version is a huge improvement in terms of interface and stability over the Windows 9x platform. Most of my applications run about twice as fast than in Windows 98SE and Windows ME. The overall boot time is about 10 seconds faster than the 98/ME incarnations. This OS is everything that Windows ME was supposed to be. I noticed that XP Professional has a built in firewall, although it\'s not as powerful as Norton Personal Firewall 2002. Its missing some features like blocking Trojan Horse applications, but if you have an additional firewall, everything should be fine then. Finally, XP has another feature that all other Windows OS\'s fail to capitalize on: burning CD\'s. Windows XP has a built in CD burning utility that allows you to burn onto CD-R\'s and CD-RW\'s. This is one powerful feat for Microsoft to make such a "Supreme" Operating System.
