   I ordered XP Pro in order to downgrade the OS on my recently purchased Toshiba Qosmio laptop . . .although Toshiba is not offering any help in this, I am still looking forward to dumping Vista once and for all in exchange for the XP Pro I am using on my other computers.

   Microsoft Windows XP functions very well, which balances out the one star rating--lowest possible--I would give its automatic update function. After downloading an update, it attempts to restart your computer and will do so if you don't tell it "Restart Later." Even if you do this, it will again attempt to restart your computer. In other words, if you don't know this is happening and you fail to intervene, the automatic update will reboot your computer and destroy every single piece of work you were doing, perhaps hours of work if you are unlucky. This has been pointed out to Microsoft, but the problem has not been fixed.

   I recieved the product in a timely manner however the box, which was listed as "new" on the website was in fact opened and the key code was no good. I had to call windows customer support to gain a new key code for the disk. I know that with software such as this, once it is used it can no longer be applied to a different computer so I was wary of purchasing it on-line to begin with. Now I feel my concerns were justified and don't feel that I will buy software from amazon again.

   I received the Office Home and Student 2007 Excel program timely and in good shape. I feel I got the best deal out there. Amazon provided all the sources and the best prices and I went for the least expensive and have no regrets.

   Wish they had left the buttons the same for user ease, some things I still have not found.... is frustrating... Ok with improving things but leave the every day tasks the same....

   I had downloaded the trial version prior to buying the software and knew this is what I wanted. Microsoft wanted $40 bucks more than I could buy it for on Amazon. Same software same version, the only thing different was the cost!!!! Amazon was less expensive. I couldn't be happier.

   The product was in good condition when it was delivered. The software was up to Microsoft's standards. The shipment arrived in a very timely manner.

   Best OS on the planet! Windows XP Computer is the one I enjoy. It's great now to have a backup. They will alway invent newer ones. You no longer can buy Windows XP in the store.

   I own a Mac running OS 10.5.4 and, for the few apps that only run on Windows, I installed Windows XP on my Mac. I didn't choose Vista because of all the problems with it. As for Windows XP itself well, that's why I own a Mac.
