Summary
As a long-time user of Windows 2000 Professional, I finally bow to Windows XP Professional SP-2. Notice the important word "SP-2" (Service Pack 2). In August 2004, Microsoft released SP-2 patch files for Windows XP. At the same time, they released...
Strength
very secure, highly capable, stable
Weakness
product activation, program too large, requires too much RAM, expensive, one install/machine
Bottom Line
Windows XP SP-2 has many useful features; it is quite secure on the internet or network group. But it's expensive and large, requiring expensive hardware for a smooth performance.
I am a huge fan about xp pro w/sp2 for several reasons. First, it cleaned up some problems that were associated with sp1. Also, XP professional allows much more control over the gui and computer as a whole. Also, if you are a gamer, XP pro runs more...

Since installing Windows XP with SP2 intergrated into it, I have had no problems whatsoever. I had SP1 intergrated for about 2 years and upgraded to SP2. When I did this my system went into shock. After trying to fix all the errors, I finally gave up...
Strength
Seems to work well...
Weakness
It's still an MS product and is still full of security holes...
I am using Windows XP PRO SP2 from last year and yes it is really fast and secure than previous versions:- The inbuilt protection from virus, firewall, and security center is worth it... I bought this product because of its cool processing and looks ...
Strength
cool processing and looks .
inbuilt protection from virus, firewall.
fast and secure
SP2 is much better than SP1 if and only if your computer can handle it. The best chance for success is to make sure to update all the drivers for your machine before you install this. One feature that I think is very cool is the ability to use...
Strength
Better security than other Microsoft operating systems.
Weakness
Bloated, you need a fast machine with lots of memory. Some machines can't handle it.
