With the successor to Windows ME and Windows 2000 just having been released to manufactures, I thought that this week I would review the newest Operating System on the market from Microsoft; Windows XP. For most people in the industry this new product is the most exciting development in its area since Windows 95 was released however, most home users may also have something to gain from this new release.
You may or may not remember the very first article I published for the Herald when I discussed the distinct differences between Windows ME (Millennium Edition) and Windows 2000. To summarise the article, Windows ME was targeted at the home user; it was designed to be fast and with large amounts of support for games but wasn’t as hot on issues such as security and stability that Windows 2000 (the business product) excelled at. This new product, Windows XP makes a valiant attempt at bridging the gap between these two distinctly different versions – It has the speed of Windows ME and the stability of Windows 2000 in one product. I have seen this package running on a number of machines and phrases such as the infamous ‘You have performed an Illegal Operation’ are few and far between due to the increased stability of the system – In fact when the computer does come down with such an error Windows XP actually apologises for the inconvenience and ensures that instead of the whole system going down that just the offending program is terminated.
