Windows XP Tips, News, Information and Advice...

As a Windows XP specialist I love writing about this operating system and how YOU, the PC/Laptop owner can use it.
The 2 major editions are Windows XP Home Edition, designed for home users, and Windows XP Professional, designed for business and power-users.
These releases were made available at retail outlets that sell computer software, and were pre-installed on computers sold by major computer manufacturers.
A third edition, called Windows XP Media Center Edition was introduced in 2002 and was updated every year until 2006 to incorporate new digital media, broadcast television and Media Center Extender capabilities.
