Pros
* Fast
* Easy to use
* Not a lot of useless features
Cons
* Microsoft ended support for such an amazing OS
* Other than that, absolutely NONE
Summary
It is still usable today, and it can be just as secure as a newer OS if it is configured properly.

Pros
It is a fun operating system.
Cons
Nothing that can be thought of.
Summary
Thank you Jesus Christ! This operating system has been with me a short while however it is very enjoyable. Throughout my brief years on the computer as a new user it really is impressive. Just my personal prefer. Even the preview of Microsoft Windows 8 does not compare to Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 2.

Slowest OS ever.
Summary
So far Windows XP is by far the slowest OS I've ever worked with. Not worth the buy at all.

Pros
Easy to use
Cons
Slow
Not compatible for DX10 and higher
Fisher price interface
Crashes too much because of drivers
Shows BSOD's for no reason
No IE9
Bad 64-bit support
Insecure
Summary
Windows XP is not a good OS, because it keeps crashing for no reason and it's so fucking slow, even if you have 1-2GB of memory. If you have XP, I recommend that you upgrade to Vista SP1+ or 7 now.

Yikes! Whatever you do, don't use Vista period! 7 is good though.

Yes XP is not perfect but hardly slow compared to the bloated and rushed VISTA. If you perform a clean install with XP and your computer is still slow then its your hardware or you have the wrong drivers installed. This is not XP's fault.
The next step is to buy a new computer with 7. You can get a new one for a couple hundred and if you need a great computer for tech then you can build your own for a few hundred as well. I'm sure there are techs in your town that can help you. Either way the rule of thumb is XP for old computers, and 7 for new ones. And if you absolutely can't stand XP for whatever reason then switch to linux. It's free and way more secure.
Pros

Pros
Easy to deal with problems, easy to navigate. Holds lots of space. Tells when there is a problem and fixes it easily. Fast 85% of the time. Good household computer, tells when a program may harm your computer, and asks if you would like to run it.
Cons
Lags sometimes (ANNOYING), can be slow 35% of the time. When multiple tabs & windows are running at the same time, all the programs immediately become 'unresponsive'. When programs become 'unresponsive', pain in the neck to shut the program down.
Summary
Overall, I have had this computer ALL MY LIFE, and it still works like brand new. This computer is an 'old but trusted friend', and if you want to pick out a new program, go with this. You won't regret it! :)

Pros
if your Microsoft ME operating system won't work anymore, buy a upgrade package off ebay that converts your o/s to XP home. Yes, it works OK and allows you to keep your current computer a few more years.. as Microsoft will support XP thru 2013+
Cons
no choice but to convert to xp from ME. XP home works just fine and all my old software works great on it. No support for ME which worked great for me for 10 years. Time to move up to XP to keep software current.
Summary
XP will probably go down as Microsoft's best operating system ever. After service pack 2 and 3, they finally got it working! Why reinvent the wheel? I'm happy and set for at least 2 or 3 years thanks to a $50 upgrade pkg purchased off ebay
