Buy Windows XP Professional and Home Edition

Everyone knows that Microsoft is trying to put Windows XP out to pasture to usher in the latest windows operating system, Windows Vista 7, the last date that direct OEM and retail license availability ended on June 30, 2008 and the System Builder license availability ended on January 31, 2009. But did you know you can still purchase Windows XP Professional and Windows XP Home Edition?

With Windows XP Professional Edition with Service Pack 2, you get safer browsing and communication, powerful security tools, and improved experiences. Windows XP is the operating system release that unifies the Microsoft range, with all the desktop versions now built on the NT/2000 code base rather than the shakier foundation of Windows 95, 98, and Me. That makes XP a great upgrade for users of the now-obsolete 9x and Me line, but for those already on Windows 2000 Professional it is a closer call. Despite the similar name, there is no special synergy between Windows XP and Office XP, which works fine on Windows 2000. Source: Amazon

Windows XP Home Edition

Windows XP Home has many strong multimedia features. New Media Player lets you copy music from CD to hard disk, create your own playlist, and write your own music CDs if you have a CD writer. You can also play back DVD-Video (but only if a hardware or software DVD decoder is already installed) and play MP3 audio files and MPEG videos (but sadly not the popular RealMedia formats). Admittedly, Media Player does nothing that you cannot also do with free alternatives, but it is slick and nicely integrated. There is also Windows Movie Maker, a basic tool for capturing and editing videos that’s fun to use, although too limited for serious work. Source: Amazon
