Pros Secure, stable,automatically updates itself and great compatibility
Cons Too many updates. Activation and re-activation can be a pain sometimes.
Recommended it? Yes

Microsoft launched its latest operating system in October of 2001. It has been over five years and we still haven't seen a new OS from Microsoft on the market yet.

I've used many operating systems in my days. I used to be a real-time operating system kind of guy and also more into UNIX (that's not Eunuchs).
