Facts & Figures :
Release: August 24, 2001
Achievement: Windows XP is one of the most used Operating System on earth! In the year 2006, it ruled the world with a massive 85% of the world’s population using it. And out of which 74.9% used internet (w3 statistics)
It was the launch of what was to become Microsoft’s most successful operating system.
Its been Ten years and three service packs, Windows XP is still installed on some 42% of the world’s computers.
The problem what it faces is obviously the Security threats! A 10 year old OS cannot really sustain or prevent the current era’s hackers and intruders!
Though the Service pack 2 and 3 had some improvements in security, it still lagged way behind WINDOWS 7.
The Admin doesn’t really have full-control over his users to control the access and give limited permissions. This can be very well achieved in Windows 7.
Nevertheless, Windows XP was the easiest OS to work on. The best layman’s Operating System! Modifying Settings, Accessing the Windows XP’s OS files and many other stuffs actually helped any person to get used to Computer and finally get induced into Computing!
Window’s greatest advantage is their robust MS-Office package. Its the best, it rules over all its competitors – Open Office, Libre Office etc., To be frank, they can never be called as Competitors.
That’s why, even on Apple’s hardware, many technical types have chosen to dual-boot XP.
Windows 7 is also ruling the next part of the world! We are waiting for some news that Microsoft will release about Windows 8. Windows 8 is supposed to be the ‘Next-GEN OS’ of this Decade!
Yes! It is!!

XP‘s huge driver library and developer base are what keep me coming back to my XP box. If it’s been dreamed of in the world of PCs, by now it’s been dreamed of on XP.
XP‘s user-friendly nature is still unmatchable. A transition to Windows 7 was a sudden jerk for many. As Windows7 was something advanced for starters.
What’s next?Windows 7 is also ruling the next part of the world! We are waiting for some news that Microsoft will release about Windows 8. Windows 8 is supposed to be the ‘Next-GEN OS’ of this Decade!
