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?
