 Windows XP on my Apple iMac November 25, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
After years of my grumbling about Microsoft Windows operating systems, the hand of fate intervened and my laptop's hard drive and motherboard simultaneously failed, giving me the perfect excuse to go out and buy a new Apple iMac, a machine that can run Mac OS X 10.5 and Windows alongside each other, very useful to avoid wasting my investment in Windows software over the years. Not wishing to install Vista, I instead chose to purchase the Windows XP OEM Home Edition SP3 from Amazon for a very reasonable 65.17, which arrived within 2 days with the usual Amazon efficiency.
Using the Mac OS X Boot Camp application to install my new software, I was up and running in Windows XP in less than 30 minutes, connected wirelessly to my Netgear DG834G router without problems, being able to switch backwards and forwards with Mac OS X at will using the Boot Camp system tray icon.
Even despite my first comment, I must say that this version of Windows XP runs really well and much faster on my new iMac and, together with Apple's fantastic Mac OS X too, I feel totally liberated from dependence on Microsoft for the first time in years.

Best version of Windows, Works fine with WiFi
I had an old Pentium III, 733Mhz PC with 256 MB RAM sat in a cupboard, decided to try loading XP but didn't want to spend a lot on the software. This OEM version is a good price and loaded without issue, also registered with Microsoft without a problem. Ok as it is OEM copy you are unlikely to get technical support from Microsoft.
Windows XP (in my opinion) is by far the best version of Windows, very easy to install, stable and uses a reasonable amount of system resources (unlike Vista). XP Runs well on my old PC, which is now being used to serf the web.
A previous reviewer stated they had problems getting XP to connect to the internet using a wireless network; I've had no issues connecting my old PC using a Netgear WG111T 108Mbps Wireless USB 2.0 Adapter key, worked straight away, setup so XP is managing the connection. I have two other newer PCs running XP (Service Pack 2) and they are also connected wirelessly to the internet using a BT Homehub, one has a built-in adapter the other with a D-Link USB key.
Buy Windows XP while you still can.
 Wireless user beware August 20, 2008

Easy install, same features but without the extensive list of updates and everything seemed to go well until trying to connect wirelessly to the internet. Netgear seemed to install fine (it doesn't seem to matter which hardware you use - Ive tried) and a good signal received but no connection (!!!). Frustrated I looked on google and found numerous references to similar problems with every kind of wireless connection. Is this Micrfosoft's way of saying 'get Vista'? Perhaps it could be relabelled ' NOT FOR USE WITH WIRELESS HARDWARE ' Definitely a case of caveat emptor.
