    11-02-07

    Duration of ownership: 2 Years

    Strengths: I can play directdraw, directx, and opengl apps and games. It supports a wide range of programs and is all easy to find what you need. With sp2 it is easier to do some service stuff and it adds some nice new features and updates.

    Weaknesses:Viruses, adware, spam and all that junk there is no true way to protect against it. Windows is unstable and is full of errors. Plus why spend hundreds of dollars on windows when you can use linux (virus free) and use your same applications which are all open source. The only down to linux is you cant game without a few programs but even then it is to complicated.

    Overall Evaluation: If your not computer savvy and want it easy and have money than go for this product. If your into real computing and server management and stability go with linux or mac.

    Strengths: Very nice operating system

    Weaknesses:Not a genuine copy of Windows XP pro

    Overall Evaluation: The product that I received looked great and appeared new and unopened. However, when installed, I was immediately informed by "Microsoft" that it was not a genuine copy of Windows and the product key had been used multiple times before. I was not happy with the continual reminders that this was not a genuine copy of Windows. I Was able to get Microsoft genuine advantage kit legal license directly from Microsoft for $199.

    Strengths: Bogus Software

    Weaknesses:Bogus Software

    Overall Evaluation: I had been using this system since a May 2007 purchase.Now the system will not pass validation. MicroSoft saysa KEYGEN program was used for this. It was a Volume Licensefrom another country. So I am out the $92 I paid for itand will have to spend $149 ( to MicroSoft ) to get a valid License to use the XP Pro. Be advised this JoMart Sales is selling bogus software.

    Strengths: A GOOD PRODUCT

    Weaknesses:IT WAS A LITTLE HARD TO ADD A SECOND LANGUATE FOR THE KEYBOARD. BUT THIS IS NOT TOO IMPORTANT.

    Overall Evaluation: I HAVE USED IT FOR OVER TWO WEEKS AND IS PERFORMING GREAT. THERE IS SO MUCH TO LEARN FROM IT IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND IT AND USED IT CORRECTLY. OK.
