Windows XP is a line of operating systems developed by Microsoft foruse on general-purpose computer systems, including home and business
desktops, notebook computers, and media centers. The name “XP” stands
for eXPerience. It was codenamed “Whistler”, after Whistler, British
Columbia, as many Microsoft employees skied at the Whistler-Blackcomb
ski resort during its development. Windows XP is the successor to both
Windows 2000 Professional and Windows Me, and is the first
consumer-oriented operating system produced by Microsoft to be built on
the Windows NT kernel and architecture. Windows XP was first released
on October 25, 2001, and over 400 million copies were in use in January
2006, according to an estimate in that month by an IDC analyst.[3] It
is succeeded by Windows Vista, which was released to volume license
customers on November 8, 2006, and worldwide to the general public on
January 30, 2007.
The most common editions of the operating system are Windows XP Home
Edition, which is targeted at home users, and Windows XP Professional,
which has additional features such as support for Windows Server
domains and two physical processors, and is targeted at power users and
business clients. Windows XP Media Center Edition has additional
multimedia features enhancing the ability to record and watch TV shows,
view DVD movies, and listen to music. Windows XP Tablet PC Edition is
designed to run the ink-aware Tablet PC platform. Two separate 64-bit
versions of Windows XP were also released, Windows XP 64-bit Edition
for IA-64 (Itanium) processors and Windows XP Professional x64 Edition
for x86-64.
Windows XP is known for its improved stability and efficiency over the
9x versions of Microsoft Windows. It presents a significantly
redesigned graphical user interface, a change Microsoft promoted as
more user-friendly than previous versions of Windows. New software
management capabilities were introduced to avoid the “DLL hell” that
plagued older consumer-oriented 9x versions of Windows. It is also the
first version of Windows to use product activation to combat software
piracy, a restriction that did not sit well with some users and privacy
advocates. Windows XP has also been criticized by some users for
security vulnerabilities, tight integration of applications such as
Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player, and for aspects of its
default user interface.
This is an untouched version.
