This is a warning to all consumers thinking about having Windows XP installed on their computer.
I went out the first day and had Windows XP installed on my computer. Big mistake. It is so new that the stores and the technitions don't know much about it. I felt like a test rat and their mistakes were my costs.
I have years of materials and data on zip, cd-rw, from windows 95 and 98. This means that all the old windows software that you now have, this system can not read it. It is like a new version all together by it's self. Your software is not COMPATIBLE! They will not tell you this. Also, once you go through the horriable experience of registering all those numbers, you find out registering it, voids the return. You try to return it because it's not compatible and your stuck with the cost of buying it.
I tryed to un-register it with microsoft and couldn't. So there is no way to resale it unless you want someone to see your registration information. This does it for me in buying anymore microsoft products. Microsoft just comes out with a new system and doesn't ask the consumer what they want. When you register XP they don't give the option to accept or decline the product like before. The XP does not have the option for creating a shortcut to your folder. You can't compress a zip from 100m to 185m. It will not read cdin from your cd-rw system. They left out vital parts and components to run the system. On top of this, the XP will only work with Norton Anti-virus it won't work with McAfee Anti-virus.
To sum it up, the XP is a new system and takes special parts and won't run well with older software. It stands alone by it's self.
It is a waste of money and time for all of those out there, who know windows and want to keep their software and their sanity.
Buyer beware!!!
