Pros: Great security updates and this will correct your crashing computer.
Cons: Microsoft Defender Antispyware not included. Some system exploits not corrected.
The Bottom Line: is that previous editions without the service pack are dangerous to use, and can lead to identity theft and a broken computer.

Pros: Resource-efficient, stable, highly-compatible, robust, mature, polished
Cons: Doesn't perform well on REALLY old hardware. Is not the cheapest OS out there.
The Bottom Line: If you need a desktop OS, just get it! There really isn't anything out there that is more universal. MacOS is good, but not quite an equal to XP.
