MODEL- MS-CD98443WI VENDOR- MICROSOFT CORPORATION

FEATURES- Windows XP Professional Operating System w/SP2- Upgrade Version
Windows XP Professional English Upgrade NA Only CD w/SP2 Retail Tech
SKU.
You can use this upgrade if you are upgrading from Windows 98/98 SE,
Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 Professional and Windows
XP Home Edition.
The latest Service Pack for Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) is all
about security, and it is one of the most important service packs
ever released. It provides better protection against viruses,
hackers, and worms, and includes Windows Firewall, Pop-up Blocker
for Internet Explorer, and the new Windows Security Center.
Windows XP Professional integrates the strengths of Windows 2000
Professional, such as standards-based security, manageability, and
reliability, with the best business features of Windows 98 and
Windows Millennium Edition, such as Plug and Play, simplified user
interface, and innovative support services. This combination
creates the best desktop operating system for business. Whether
your business deploys Windows XP Professional on a single computer
or throughout a worldwide network, this new operating system
increases your computing power while lowering cost of ownership for
desktop computers.
* The entirely new look of Windows XP is sure to grab lots of attention.
The so-called Luna design--which you'll see popping up in other products
from Microsoft--has big icons, rounded dialog boxes, and bright, colorful
backgrounds. The desktop has fewer icons, the Start menu and System Tray
show only the applications you use most frequently, and commonly-accessed
dialog boxes such as the Control Panel have been simplified. The overall
effect is a less cluttered and easier to use OS. But for those
traditionalists who miss good old Windows, you can always revert to the
"Classic" look.
* An enhanced My Pictures folder simplifies the process of transferring,
browsing through, and manipulating images, and Windows XP also offers
the ability to send images straight to an online printing service.
* Windows XP will include an updated Windows Media Player (version 8), and
makes it easier-than-ever to burn your own CDs.
* A digital video editing application called Windows Movie Maker that is
easier to use. When you attach a DV camcorder, Windows XP should
automatically recognize it and launch Movie Maker.
* New version of the Internet Explorer browser. Like Windows XP itself,
IE 6 has a streamlined look and lots of enhancements, mainly to the
Explorer Bars. Related features in Windows XP include an improved home
networking wizard (for sharing an Internet connection), a personal
firewall for broadband users, and enhanced Web Publishing Wizard.

It's hard to believe that Microsoft is already 30 years old. The company that made Redmond, Washington, a household name was actually founded in 1975 in another city by two young Seattle men, one of whom was a college dropout. From this inauspicious beginning came an equally improbable vision: A personal computer on every desk and in every home. Thirty years later, it seems so obvious. But at the time, when only a handful of people knew what a personal computer was, it was a great leap of faith and daring.
