       Final
      Results and Overall Mark Well we have reached the end of the 
      preview. Here are my final comments and notes for Microsoft Windows XP Professional Beta 2 
      Administrative Features Overview.       Final
      Comments 
      Microsoft Windows XP is a GREAT improvement to any other Microsoft 
      operating system in the past.  I 
      used Beta 1 for about one month solid without ever having to shut down or 
      reboot my machine.  If this is any 
      indication of what we can expect in the final version, then I think 
      everyone is ready for this product.  
      Now, if you seem a little disheartened by my review because it doesn’t 
      cover any of the end-users advantages that XP provides, don’t worry, there 
      will be a follow-up review to this one geared to all of the end-user 
      enhancements, like Media Player 8, IE 6, and the MSN Explorer. 
      There will also be an article about the enhancements of Whistler 
      Advanced Server. (Microsoft didn’t rename the Server version to XP.) 
      It will cover administrative enhancements and more detailed RIS 
      stuff also.  So, after reading this, 
      what do you think about XP?
