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?
