An exciting new look
Windows XP Professional sports a visual design that combines a sleek look, clean lines, and appealing colors with a task-oriented design and exceptionally streamlined navigation.
The redesigned Start menu makes it easier to find important information and to access the programs you use most frequently.
By automatically cleaning up the notification area of the taskbar and grouping related taskbar items, Windows XP makes it easier to switch between programs and to open, view, or close multiple items at the same time.
Try the easiest Windows yet
Windows XP makes it easy to manage all of your information. We've enhanced the My Documents and My Pictures folders to make them more useful. Now whenever you open these folders, you’ll also see handy shortcuts to the most common tasks for documents and pictures.
Integrated support for Web publishing means that you can put your documents on the Internet and get to them easily from any location.
Windows XP Professional also supports integrated CD recording, so now you can easily save files to a CD-R or CD-RW drive.
Stay up to date
Windows Update provides you with critical software updates and hardware support files for Windows XP. And Setup gives you the opportunity to ensure that you have the latest software to install Windows quickly and successfully.
For corporate customers, there have been great improvements to the system preparation tool as well as unattended setups.
Your computer will be faster and more reliable
Windows XP Professional not only starts faster than any previous version of Windows, but it also runs your programs more quickly and reliably than ever. If a program becomes unstable, you can close it without having to shut down Windows or lose any of your work.
Get support for the latest hardware and software
Windows XP Professional supports a large number of programs and has built-in support for the latest hardware.
When you insert a floppy disk, ZIP disk, CD, or memory card from your digital camera, Windows XP identifies the content and automatically starts the appropriate program. Windows XP Professional also supports DVD-RAM drives.
Easily move documents and personal settings to a new computer
If you’ve had a computer for a while, you’ve probably gotten it set up the way you like. Files are organized a certain way, you have bookmarked a long list of favorite Web sites, and you’ve customized your desktop just the way you want it.
Those personal settings won’t be wiped out when you buy a new computer with Windows XP. With the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard, it's simple to move your files and settings from one computer to another.
The wizard is located in the System Tools folder. For a command-line version that system administrators can use on multiple computers at once, try the User State Migration Tool (USMT) in the ValueAdd folder.
Surfing the Internet: safe, fast, and flexible
Windows XP includes the most secure version of Internet Explorer to date. Many new features help enhance the security and privacy of information that you send and receive over the Internet, while simplifying the daily tasks that you perform. New innovative browser capabilities--such as a pop-up blocker, the ability to control plug-ins, and more--let you experience the Web exactly the way that you want.
Explore your creative side with photos
Windows XP enhances your ability to share photos with your friends and family. You can easily download pictures from your digital camera into the My Pictures folder.
The improved My Pictures folder shows thumbnail views of your pictures, so it’s easy to find the ones you want. And the tasks in the My Pictures folder help you publish your favorite pictures to the Web or send them through e-mail to quickly share with friends and family. You can even use the Photo Printing Wizard to easily print photos in any size and quantity.
Work anytime, anywhere
Windows XP Professional features great improvements for the mobile professional. Windows XP enables you to connect to your desktop from almost anywhere.
Exceptional power management features have increased battery life so that you can work longer, and Remote Desktop allows you to access your programs and data from another computer connected to your corporate network.
Windows XP is great for notebook computers
Windows XP makes wireless networking with your computer easy and secure so you can work where you want, when you want. And, with Windows XP, wireless networking configuration is seamless and automatic.
Additionally, Microsoft ClearType™ technology dramatically improves the readability of LCD screens. And, of course, Windows XP Professional features great Plug and Play support.
The most dependable Windows for business computing
Built on the proven reliability of Windows 2000, Windows XP Professional offers features that improve the stability of your computer.
We've added features like device driver rollback and an improved device driver verifier. And we've enhanced features that protect important system files within the operating system from being deleted or replaced, which makes Windows XP Professional the most reliable Windows ever.
Experience the ultimate in safety, security, and privacy
Building on the security of Windows 2000, Windows XP Professional provides the latest technologies to help keep your data safe from unauthorized access.
Windows Firewall helps protects your computer from intruders when it's connected to the Internet. Built-in policies also help protect your computer from certain types of e-mail viruses.
If you need to encrypt your data, Windows XP Professional offers an encrypting file system, which has been improved to work seamlessly with offline data.
Be assured of greater accessibility
Windows XP Professional provides accessibility features that make it easier for people to use computers.
The Accessibility Wizard helps you customize your computer screen, keyboard, and mouse to fit your needs.
To make items on the screen easier to see, you can increase the contrast, enlarge the text, and have your mouse pointer leave a trail. You can customize keyboard options and replace computer sounds with visual alerts.
Windows XP also includes basic utilities that allow you to magnify the screen or use an on-screen keyboard. You can start these utilities from the Utility Manager–even when logging on to your computer–by pressing the Windows logo key + U.
Now it's easier to get help--and to help others!
If you need to find your way around Windows XP or troubleshoot a problem, then you'll appreciate the ease of finding answers in the content-rich new world of Help and Support Center.
From one central location, you can find your system configuration, keep your computer up to date, check for software and hardware compatibility, and search across multiple sources of help and troubleshooting content on the Web as well as on your computer--quickly and easily!
If you prefer to ask friends or co-workers to help fix a problem on your computer, just send them a Remote Assistance request. Then, with your permission, they can use their own computer to view your desktop and help you just as easily as if they were in the same room.
