Windows XP is the next version of Microsoft Windows beyond Windows 2000 and Windows Millennium. Windows XP brings the convergence of Windows operating systems by integrating the strengths of Windows 2000—standards-based security, manageability and reliability with the best features of Windows 98 and Windows Me—Plug and Play, easy-to-use user interface, and innovative support services to create the best Windows yet.

Why should I move to Windows XP Professional?

1) Windows XP delivers a new level of stability, so you can focus on your work. For example, in most cases, if one program crashes, your computer will keep running.

2) Windows XP manages system resources efficiently, meeting the performance standards set by Windows 2000 and exceeding those set by Windows 98 Second Edition.

3) Remote Desktop allows you to create a virtual session and use your desktop computer from another computer running Windows 95 or later, giving you access to all of your data and applications even when you're not in your office.

4) Get to your most commonly used tasks quickly, thanks to a cleaner design and new visual cues.

5) Wireless 802.1x Networking Support provides support for secured access, as well as performance improvements for wireless networks.

6) Windows Messenger is the easy way to communicate and collaborate in real time on your computer. You can see the online status of your contacts and choose to communicate with them through text, voice, or video with better performance and higher quality.

7) Encrypting File System provides a high level of protection from hackers and data theft by transparently encrypting files with a randomly generated key.

8) Save battery power when you're working on the road. With Windows XP your laptop can enter Standby or Hibernate faster, and it can start working again faster after resuming from Standby or Hibernation.

9) In addition to a comprehensive set of documentation, Help and Support Center in Windows XP includes Remote Assistance, which allows you to have a friend or IT professional who is also running Windows XP remotely control your computer to demonstrate a process or help solve a problem.

10) If something goes wrong with your computer, you can revert the system back to a previous state.
