	Windows XP - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Windows XP brought to the consumer line of Windows many features previously available only in the server- and workstation-oriented Windows NT and Windows 2000 families, such as greater stability and efficiency due to its pure 32-bit kernel, instead of the hybrid 16-bit/32-bit kernel in prior consumer versions of Windows.
		Windows XP is also the first consumer version of Windows to use product activation to combat software piracy, and this restriction did not sit well with some users and privacy advocates.
		Windows XP was also vulnerable to the Sasser worm, spread by using a buffer overflow in a remote service present on every installation.

		It was initially hyped as the replacement for all other operating systems for Intel-based PCs, but it was somewhat slow to catch on and was later redirected to the upper end of the market, where it found a niche.
		By exposing these to the rest of the operating system in idealized form, it becomes easier to port NT to other hardware platforms, since most of the modifications required are concentrated in one place.
		In the latter, the system calls are all publicly known and form a minimal interface: removing even one of them would reduce the functionality of the operating system.

	The Hand-held Personal Computer & the Windows CE Operating System (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The Windows CE operating system (according to the Microsoft Windows CE website, CE ‘doesn’t represent a single concept, but rather implies a number of Windows CE design precepts, including Compact, Connectable, Compatible, and Companion’) is a graphical user interface that looks similar to the Windows 95 and Windows NT operating systems.

	The Windows Operating System
		Windows is known as a "GUI" (sounds like "gooey") type program, which is an acronym meaning "Graphic User Interface" because of its use of visual pictures or "icons" tto cue the user toward specific actions.
		The reason this program is called "Windows" is that you can have several rectangular areas of the screen visible at the same time, with different programs or files visible at the same time.
		Windows also forces a consistent discipline in using software application programs, since the interface is the same in each, regardless of what it does.
