Technology
Windows XP
The features in the table below illustrate why the Windows XP
Professional operating system is the best choice for businesses of all
sizes. Windows XP Professional integrates the strengths of Windows 2000 Professional, such as standards-based security, manageability, and reliability, with the best business features of Windows 98 and Windows Millennium Edition,
such as Plug and Play, simplified user interface, and innovative
support services. This combination creates the best desktop operating
system for business. Whether your business deploys Windows XP
Professional on a single computer or throughout a worldwide network,
this new operating system increases your computing power while lowering
cost of ownership for desktop computers.
| Feature |
Description |
Benefit |
| Reliable |
| Built on the new Windows engine |
Windows XP Professional is built on the
proven code base of Windows NT® and Windows 2000, which features a
32-bit computing architecture and a fully protected memory model. |
Windows XP Professional will provide a
dependable computing experience for all business users. |
| Enhanced device driver verifier |
Building on the device driver verifier
found in Windows 2000, the Windows XP Professional will provide even
greater stress tests for device drivers. |
Device drivers that pass these tests will
be the most robust drivers available, which will ensure maximum system
stability. |
| Dramatically reduced reboot scenarios |
Eliminates most scenarios that force end
users to reboot in Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 95/98/Me. Also, many
software installations will not require reboots. |
Users will experience higher levels of system uptime. |
| Improved code protection |
Critical kernel data structures are
read-only, so that drivers and applications cannot corrupt them. All
device driver code is read-only and page protected. |
Rogue applications cannot adversely
affect core operating system areas. |
| Side-by-side DLL support |
Provides a mechanism for multiple
versions of individual Windows components to be installed and run "side
by side." |
This helps to address the "DLL hell"
problem by allowing an application written and tested with one version
of a system component to continue to use that version even if an
application that uses a newer version of the same component is
installed. |
| Windows File Protection |
Protects core system files from being
overwritten by application installations. If a file is overwritten,
Windows File Protection will restore the correct version. |
By safeguarding system files, Windows XP
Professional mitigates many of the most common system failures
encountered in earlier versions of Windows. |
| Windows Installer |
A system service that helps users
install, configure, track, upgrade, and remove software programs
correctly. |
Will help minimize user downtime and increase system stability. |
| Enhanced software restriction policies |
Provide administrators a policy-driven
mechanism to identify software running in their environment and control
its ability to execute. This facility can be used in virus and Trojan
horse prevention and software lockdown. |
Can contribute to improved system
integrity, manageability, and, ultimately, lower cost of ownership of
the PC. |
| Preemptive multitasking architecture |
Designed to allow multiple applications
to run simultaneously, while ensuring great system response and
stability. |
Run your most demanding applications
while still experiencing impressive system response time. |
| Scalable memory and processor support |
Supports up to 4 gigabytes (GB) of RAM
and up to two symmetric multiprocessors. |
Users who need the highest level of
performance will be able to work with the latest hardware. |
| Encrypting File System (EFS) with multi-user support |
Encrypts each file with a randomly
generated key. The encryption and decryption processes are transparent
to the user. In Windows XP Professional, EFS can provide multiple users
access to an encrypted document. |
The highest level of protection from hackers and data theft. |
| IP Security (IPSec) |
Helps protect data transmitted across a
network. IPSec is an important part of providing security for virtual
private networks (VPNs), which allow organizations to transmit data
securely over the Internet. |
IT administrators will be able to build
secure VPNs quickly and easily. |
| Kerberos support |
Provides industry-standard and
high-strength authentication with fast, single logon to Windows 2000 —
based enterprise resources. Kerberos is an Internet standard, which
makes it especially effective for networks that include different
operating systems such as UNIX. |
Windows XP Professional will offer single
logon for end users for resources and supported applications hosted on
both Windows 2000 and our next-generation server platform, Windows .NET
Server. |
| Smart card support |
Smart card capabilities are integrated
into the operating system, including support for smart card logon to
terminal server sessions hosted on Windows .NET Server — based (the
next-generation server platform) terminal servers. |
Smart cards enhance software-only
solutions such as client authentication, interactive logon, code
signing, and secure e-mail. |
| Easy to Use |
| Fresh visual design |
While maintaining the core of Windows
2000, Windows XP Professional has a fresh visual design. Common tasks
have been consolidated and simplified, and new visual cues have been
added to help users navigate their computers more easily.
Administrators or end users can choose this updated user interface or
the classic Windows 2000 interface with the click of a button. |
Allows the most common tasks to be
exposed easily, helping users get the most of out of Windows XP
Professional. |
| Adaptive user environment |
Adapts to the way an individual user
works. With a redesigned Start menu, the most frequently used
applications are shown first. When you open multiple files in the same
application, (such as multiple e-mail messages in the Microsoft
Outlook® messaging and collaboration client) the open windows will be
consolidated under a single task bar button. To remove some of the
clutter from the notification area, items that are not being used will
be hidden. All of these features can be set using Group Policy. |
A cleaner work environment allows the
user to be more efficient. Users can find the crucial data and
applications they need quickly and easily. All of these settings can be
controlled using Group Policy, so IT administrators can decide what
features are most appropriate for their environments. |
| Work with rich media |
Windows Media™ Player for Windows XP is
the first player to combine all of your common digital media activities
into a single, easy-to-use player. The player makes it easy for you to:
- View rich media information, for example, virtual company meetings
or "just-in-time" learning
- Receive the best-possible audio and video quality, because the
player adapts to network conditions
- Tune in to nearly 3,000 Internet radio stations
- Create custom CDs up to 700 percent faster than other solutions
- View DVD movies
|
|
| Context-sensitive task menus |
When a file is selected in Windows
Explorer, a dynamic menu appears. This menu lists tasks that are
appropriate for the type of file selected. |
Common tasks that were hard to find in
previous versions of Windows are exposed for easy access. |
| Integrated CD burning |
Support for burning CDs on CD-R and CD-RW
drives is integrated into Windows Explorer. |
Archiving data onto CD is now as easy as
saving to a floppy disk, and does not require an expensive third-party
solution. |
| Easily publish information to the Web |
Files and folders can be easily published
to any Web service that uses the WebDAV protocol. |
Users will be able to publish important
information to Web servers on the company’s intranet. |
| Dualview |
A single computer desktop can be
displayed on two monitors driven off of a single display adapter. With
a laptop computer, a user could run the internal LCD display as well as
an external monitor. A variety of high-end display adapters will
support this functionality for desktops. |
Users will be able to maximize their
productivity by working on multiple screens, while removing the need
for multiple CPUs. |
| Troubleshooters |
Helps users and administrators configure,
optimize, and troubleshoot numerous Windows XP Professional functions. |
Enables users to be more self-sufficient,
resulting in greater productivity, fewer help desk calls, and better
customer service. |

offline files and folders with those on the network. |
After working with files and folders
offline, the changes will be automatically replicated back to the
network, ensuring the latest version is always available. |
| Improved power management |
By intelligently monitoring CPU state,
Windows XP Professional can reduce the amount of power it is using. The
operating system will provide more accurate data on the amount of power
left; this will prevent the system from shutting down prematurely.
Also, by allowing for the system to wake up as the battery nears a
drained state, the computer can be put into hibernation, and save work
in progress. Power management can now be set for each computer, or each
user on a computer. |
Users will be able to work longer on
battery power and more accurately forecast how long their batteries
will last. |
| Hibernate |
After a set period of time, or on demand,
Windows XP Professional will save memory to disk, and shut the power
down. When power is restored, all the applications are reopened exactly
as they were left. |
Users can maximize battery life, and
still be able to quickly resume working where they left off, reducing
downtime. |

closer server if that user moved from one building to another. |
| Easier remote access configuration wizards |
Guide users through the steps for setting
up remote access to a network or virtual private network (VPN). |
Make it easier to connect to a corporate network or the Internet. |
| Improved Help and Support Services |
The Help and Support Center combines
features users are familiar with from previous versions of Windows
(such as Search, Index, and Favorites) with content from the World Wide
Web to give users more chances to get the help they need when they need
it. If the content in the Help and Support Center doesn't answer their
question, it can be used to contact a friend, a support community, or a
professional to get assistance. Tools such as My Computer Information
and System Restore are also available to diagnose and fix common
problems. |
Users can quickly and easily find the
answers they need, reducing help desk calls and increasing user
satisfaction. |
| Remote Assistance |
Remote Assistance enables a user to share
control of his or her computer with someone on a network or the
Internet. An administrator or friend can view the user's screen, and
control the pointer and keyboard to help solve a technical problem. IT
departments can build custom solutions, on top of published APIs using
HTML, to tailor Remote Assistance to their needs, and the feature can
be centrally enabled or disabled. |

administrators spend at users' desks. Many administrative and
troubleshooting tasks can now be done from the administrators' own
desks. |
| System Restore |
The System Restore feature enables users
and administrators to restore a computer to a previous state without
losing data. System Restore automatically creates easily identifiable
restore points, which allow you to restore the system to a previous
time. |
If users experience system failure or
another significant problem, they can use System Restore from Safe Mode
or Normal Mode to go back to a previous system state, restoring optimal
system functionality. System Restore will not revert user data or
document files, so restoring will not cause users to lose their work,
mail, or even browsing history and favorites. |
| Recovery Console |
Provides a command-line console for
administrators to start and stop services, format drives, read and
write data on a local drive, and perform many other administrative
tasks. |
In the event of errors that prevent
Windows XP Professional from starting, administrators can boot the
system to a command console and potentially repair the operating system. |
| Device Driver Rollback |
When certain classes of new device
drivers are installed, Windows XP Professional will maintain a copy of
the previously installed driver, which can be reinstalled if problems
occur. |
If a new device driver is causing Windows
XP Professional to malfunction, an administrator can easily reinstall
the previous driver. |
| Windows Messenger |
The easy way to communicate with your
customers, partners, friends, and family in real time. Will keep you
updated with your contacts' online status. Choose text, voice, or video

Description |
Benefit |
| Application compatibility |
We've provided fixes to hundreds of
applications that didn’t run on Windows 2000 Professional to run on
Windows XP Professional. As new application fixes are published, we
will make them available via the Windows Update service.
In
addition to the application fixes, Windows XP Professional has a
mechanism that allows the user or IT administrator to specify if an
application needs to run in either Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 95/98 or
Windows Me compatibility mode. In this mode, Windows XP Professional
system DLLs provide appropriate responses to the running application,
allowing it to execute appropriately without a noticeable loss of
performance. |
Users will experience increased
application compatibility when compared with Windows 2000 Professional,
and as more application fixes are rolled out, they'll be automatically
available.
Application compatibility modes will potentially
allow thousands of applications to run that don't have applications
fixes on Windows XP Professional. |
| User State Migration Tool |
Helps administrators to migrate a user's
data and application/operating system settings from an old computer to
a new Windows XP Professional desktop computer. |
IT administrators can reduce the number
of help desk calls after a migration, and end users will have less
downtime because they will retain their familiar operating environment. |
| Automatic Updates |
With the user's permission, Windows XP
Professional automatically downloads critical and security updates in
the background when the user is connected to the Internet. These
downloads are designed to minimize the impact on Internet browsing, and
the update automatically resumes upon reconnection if the computer is
disconnected before the download is complete. Once the update has been
downloaded, the user can choose to install it. |
Users will automatically receive critical
updates without impacting their ability to use network connections. |
| Windows Update improvements |
As application compatibility updates, new
device drivers, and other updates are released for Windows XP
Professional, they become available on the Windows Update Web site.
(Users can also find critical and security updates here, if they choose
not to use automatic updating.) Administrators can disable user access
to Windows Update. The Windows Update Catalog is provided for
administrators to download updates and deploy them as appropriate in
their organizations. |
The operating system updates will always
be available to ensure the most reliable and full-featured computing

Allows administrators a greater degree of
flexibility in scripting unattended Setup routines, ensuring the most
flexible installation options available today. |
| Internet Explorer 6 Administration Kit |
Internet Explorer 6 is more customizable
using the Internet Explorer Administration Kit (IEAK 6), so it's easier
to deploy and maintain the browser. Version 6 of the IEAK adds control
over new features such as the Media bar, Auto Image Resize, and the
Personal bar. |
Administrators have a greater degree of flexibility in deploying Internet Explorer 6. |
| System Preparation tool (SysPrep) |
SysPrep helps administrators clone
computer configurations, systems, and applications. A single image,
which includes the operating system and business applications, can be
restored to multiple different machine configurations. |
SysPrep will allow administrators to
reduce the number of operating system images they maintain, while
reducing the time it takes to deploy a typical desktop system. |
| Setup Manager |
A graphical wizard that guides
administrators in designing installation scripts. |
It’s now easier to create answer files
for unattended installations. |
| Remote OS Installation |
Windows XP Professional can be installed

edit documents in many languages with the English version of Windows XP
Professional. The Multilingual User Interface Pack, an add-on pack to
the English version of Windows XP Professional, lets you change the
user interface language for each user. |
IT administrators will no longer need to
deploy multiple localized versions of the operating system. This will
speed deployments, reduce operating system images, and lower cost of
ownership. |
| Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) |
Provides a standard infrastructure for
monitoring and managing system resources. |
Allows system administrators to monitor
and control the system using scripting and third-party applications. |
| Safe Mode startup options |
Allows Windows XP Professional to boot
the system at the most basic level, using default settings and minimum
device drivers. |
Provides a means to boot the system into
the GUI so that IT professionals can repair the operating system. |
| Group Policy |
Group Policy settings simplify the
administration of users and objects by letting administrators organize
them into logical units, such as departments or locations and then
assign the same settings, including security, appearance, and
management options, to all employees in that group. There are hundreds
of new policies available for Windows XP Professional, in addition to
those provided for Windows 2000 Professional. |
As users move from location to location,
they still have access to critical data, and they maintain their own
customized work environment. |
| Resultant Set of Policy (RSoP) |
Allows administrators to see the effect
of Group Policy on a targeted user or computer. With RSoP,
administrators have a powerful and flexible base-level tool to plan,
monitor, and troubleshoot Group Policy. |
Administrators can more easily implement
and manage Group Policy using the new RSoP tool. |
| Microsoft Management Console (MMC) |
Provides a centralized and consistent
environment for management tools. |
IT administrators will be able to create
