When a brand-new computer produced by a factory arrives in a company, it can do nothing. The hardware needs software to makes it work. It is the applications software, such as word processing or spreadsheet software. Because application software cannot communicate directly with the hardware, so the operating system serves as intermediary software between the applications software and the hardware. An operating system is a set of programs that lies between applications software and the computer hardware. It is the fundamental software that control as access to all other software and hardware resources. There are various kind of operating system such as Windows, UNIX, Solaris, and much more.

AutoSketch 9 running on Windows XP ProfessionalThe one that does not agree with this opinion may argue that Windows XP Professional uses a lot of hardware resources like memory, speed and etc. It would be impossible if your want to install Windows XP Professional in a low level computer like Pentium 2 or below.

Anyway, I agree with a lot of that. WinXP is very aesthetically pleasing, it has a lot of noticable changes in comparison to recent OS releases from Microsoft. Probably the thing I like msot about it is the fact that the entire system no longer crashes when a progam crashes - it works around little hiccups like that.
As for security, it is based on the NT structure like you say, so yes it is much better than WinME and 98 etc. Even the way you can login (profile style) is quite a nice feature - just looks and feels good about how you switch users and have file protection so other users on the same system can't access what is not theirs.
