Far from being repentant, Microsoft has gone further with XP, providing even more programs that once were the domain of third parties. It also drew a government antitrust suit that still hasn't been resolved. When Microsoft tied the Internet Explorer Web browser into Windows 95, critics called it an effort to eliminate competitors and make the Internet sea a Microsoft lake. The real debate over XP revolves around its second function - Microsoft's effort to use Windows to take control of our entire computing experience. We can find solace in a Control Panel switch that makes XP work more like earlier versions. But experienced Windowers may find the changes annoying. These goodies will appeal to newcomers and those who found earlier versions of Windows confusing. This is a sign that Microsoft is serious about turning your computer into a multimedia playpen. Windows XP automatically sets up easily-reached folders for photos, music and videos.

If you're looking at a folder of photos, for example, it automatically displays thumbnail images of each picture. Windows Explorer, the program that manages the files on your hard drive, is much smarter than the old version. So mom, dad and the kids can all have their own color schemes, wallpaper and Internet favorites. XP makes it easy - almost mandatory - to set up accounts for different users. Windows XP also has a new look and feel, with a less cluttered desktop, softer, rounder icons, and a Start Menu that's organized by task or function, rather then by program. That doesn't mean you won't create other problems by upgrading, but once you get XP working on your machine, it's likely to work well. Microsoft claims that XP is far less prone to crash, and after testing it at home for several weeks, I agree wholeheartedly.

The $199 Windows XP Professional upgrade adds networking and remote management features that the $99 Home edition lacks, but underneath, it's the same. So from now on, there will be only one underlying version of Windows. Windows 2000 improved NT's usability and compatibility - so much that Microsoft used it as the core of Windows XP.

Ultimately, it was so tied to business that the makers of many consumer-oriented video cards, cameras, printers and other gadgets never bothered to develop driver software to work with it. Unfortunately, Windows NT wouldn't automatically recognize new hardware - a feature called Plug-and-Play. Written from the ground up for multitasking, it was much less likely to crash a PC when a single program went into rigor mortis. It's one of the main reasons why consumer versions of Windows crash so often.ĭuring the 1990s, Microsoft developed a robust, industrial-strength operating system for business use known as Windows NT, and later as Windows 2000. It wasn't very stable when it was introduced two decades ago, and it was never designed for the kind of multitasking demands that Windows makes. Windows 95 and 98, installed on most home and small business PCs, were based on Microsoft's creaky Disk Operating System - known in the trade as DOS. This is the software that runs your computer, communicates with the outside world, creates a graphical interface for point-and-click use, and provides a platform to run applications - your word processor, Web browser, spreadsheet and so on. The first and most important is the core operating system. To understand why, think of Windows XP as a set of programs with two major functions. Is XP worth this hassle? In most regards, it's Microsoft's best operating system. If you have several PCs and want them on the same version of Windows, get ready to pay for extra copies of XP or stick with Windows 98.

If you try to install a copy on more than one computer - which has always been illegal but was common in multi-PC households - Microsoft will know.

The code is tied to your computer's hardware.
