Windows XP Professional (Academic Upgrade)

Strengths: Same Windows XP Professional software at an academic price.

Weakness: Only usable on one computer.

I installed this software and it works great. EXACT program as standard. Great price if you are a teacher or a college student. Because Microsoft Windows programs can be put on only one computer now, you must buy a license for each individual computer.

Microsoft Windows XP Professional Upgrade

Strengths: Works good for everything!

Weakness: I have no weaknesses!

I installed this gadget and it works, like XP/Home. We bought it from Microsoft, and I got it activated and it works I bought it for Remote Desktop. I love it because I can be far away and still work on my computer. We have a big network, wired and wireless. We have 6 computers on our network and Charter Internet Access, which is a high-speed connection.

Microsoft Windows XP Professional Upgrade

Strengths: More stable, same EXACT program as standard. Buy this version if you are a teacher or a college student. It is definitely less expensive.

Weakness: ALL Windows XP programs are only good for one computer.

No Windows programs can be put on more than one computer now. You must buy a license for each individual computer. So be careful what you buy if you have a network.
