WIN XP PRO UP w/SP2

Product Code: MSCD83128WI Price: Check Latest MODEL- MS-CD83128WI VENDOR- MICROSOFT CORPORATION FEATURES- Windows XP Professional Operating System w/SP2- Upgrade Version You can use this upgrade if you are upgrading from Windows 98/98 SE, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 Professional and Windows XP Home Edition. The latest Service Pack for Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) is all about security, and it is one of the most important service packs ever released. It provides better protection against viruses, hackers, and worms, and includes Windows Firewall, Pop-up Blocker for Internet Explorer, and the new Windows Security Center. 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. * The entirely new look of Windows XP is sure to grab lots of attention. The so-called Luna design--which you'll see popping up in other products from Microsoft--has big icons, rounded dialog boxes, and bright, colorful backgrounds. The desktop has fewer icons, the Start menu and System Tray show only the applications you use most frequently, and commonly-accessed dialog boxes such as the Control Panel have been simplified. The overall effect is a less cluttered and easier to use OS. But for those traditionalists who miss good old Windows, you can always revert to the "Classic" look. * An enhanced My Pictures folder simplifies the process of transferring, browsing through, and manipulating images, and Windows XP also offers the ability to send images straight to an online printing service. * Windows XP will include an updated Windows Media Player (version 8), and makes it easier-than-ever to burn your own CDs. * A digital video editing application called Windows Movie Maker that is easier to use. When you attach a DV camcorder, Windows XP should automatically recognize it and launch Movie Maker. * New version of the Internet Explorer browser. Like Windows XP itself, IE 6 has a streamlined look and lots of enhancements, mainly to the Explorer Bars. Related features in Windows XP include an improved home networking wizard (for sharing an Internet connection), a personal firewall for broadband users, and enhanced Web Publishing Wizard.
