Has anyone added XP yet? Let us hear what you think & what are your recommendations if we need the Home or Pro for business. Where's the best deals on XP?

I loaded XP at home this weekend. It's as stable as my Win 2000 was. I like the new interface. I did not search for any deals, just got it at my local Office Depot. VERY EASY INSTALL. If you have several people logging onto the computer ( Family ) then you will really like how it manages account for each family member. Very nice.

I like it too! I "borrowed" the home version from a friend. No problems so far and I love the look if it, very cute.

P.S. I hear that Helios will not work with XP?

Is XP that much better? I looked at it today at Office Max, but don't think I can justify the price right now.

I've heard the XP Business Pro was excellent--hope to be getting it tomorrow

We (my husband, actually) just built a new computer. It is P4, 1.7gH, 512RAM,64RAM G-Force video. It has only xp Pro, SunTouch+ and hardware software and it screams. XP PRO is easy to use. We haven't crashed in 2 days. That is a miracle! We bought xp at a computer sale for $149. It is full version not upgrade. Pam

I hope you NEVER crash! Have you been crashing?

SunTouch says you can go with either XP Home or XP Pro. What is the big difference? I've got to get a new computer before I get the SunTouch+ & XP. I guess I'll get in touch with Dell & see if they can build me one!

XP pro in canada is 500.00 for full, 299.00 for the upgrade.
The upgarade does not work on xp home!
