 Windows xp
 Windows XP is an operating system that was produced by Microsoft for use on
personal computers, including home and business desktops, laptops, and
media centers. It was first released in August 2001, and is the most popular version
of Windows, based on installed user base. The name "XP" is short for
"eXPerience."[3]
 Windows XP was the successor to both Windows 2000 and Windows Me, and was
the first consumer-oriented operating system produced by Microsoft to be built on
the Windows NT kernel and architecture. Windows XP was released for retail sale
on October 25, 2001, and over 400 million copies were in use in January 2006,
according to an estimate in that month by an IDC analyst.[4] It was succeeded by
Windows Vista, which was released to volume license customers on November 8,
2006, and worldwide to the general public on January 30, 2007. Direct OEM and
retail sales of Windows XP ceased on June 30, 2008. Microsoft continued to sell
Windows XP through their System Builders (smaller OEMs who sell assembled
computers) program until January 31, 2009.[5][6] XP may continue to be available
as these sources run through their inventory or by purchasing Windows 7 Ultimate,
Windows 7 Pro, Windows Vista Ultimate or Windows Vista Business, and then
downgrading to Windows XP.[7][8
 Service pack
 Microsoft occasionally releases service packs for its Windows
operating systems to fix problems and add features. Each service pack
is a superset of all previous service packs and patches so that only the
latest service pack needs to be installed, and also includes new
revisions.[41] However if you still have the earliest version of Windows
XP on Retail CD (without any service packs included), you will need to
install SP1a or SP2, before SP3 can be installed. Older service packs
need not be manually removed before application of the most recent
one. Windows Update "normally" takes care of automatically removing
unnecessary files.
 The service pack details below only apply to the 32-bit editions.
Windows XP Professional x64 Edition was based on
Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 1 and claimed to be "SP1" in
system properties from the initial release. It is updated by the same
service packs and hotfixes as the x64 edition of Windows Server 2003.

 Service pack 1
 Service Pack 1 (SP1) for Windows XP was released on September 9,
2002. It contains post-RTM security fixes and hot-fixes, compatibility
updates, optional .NET Framework support, enabling technologies for
new devices such as Tablet PCs, and a new
Windows Messenger 4.7 version. The most notable new features were
USB 2.0 support and a Set Program Access and Defaults utility that
aimed at hiding various middleware products. Users can control the
default application for activities such as web browsing and instant
messaging, as well as hide access to some of Microsoft's bundled
programs. This utility was first brought into the older Windows 2000
operating system with its Service Pack 3. This Service Pack supported
SATA and hard drives that were larger than 137GB (48-bit LBA support)
by default. The Microsoft Java Virtual Machine, which was not in the
RTM version, appeared in this Service Pack. [42] Support for IPv6 was
also introduced in this Service Pack.
 On February 3, 2003, Microsoft released Service Pack 1a (SP1a). This
release removed Microsoft's Java virtual machine as a result of a lawsuit
with Sun Microsystems.[43
 Service pack 2
 Service Pack 2 (SP2) (codenamed "Springboard") was released on August 25, 2004, [44] with
an emphasis on security. Unlike the previous service pack, SP2 added new functionality to
Windows XP, such as WPA encryption compatibility and improved Wi-Fi support (with a
wizard utility), a pop-up ad blocker for Internet Explorer 6, and Bluetooth support. The new
welcome screen during the kernel boot removes the subtitles "Professional", "Home Edition"
and "Embedded" since Microsoft introduced new Windows XP editions prior to the release of
SP2. The green loading bar in Home Edition and the yellow one in Embedded were replaced
with the blue bar, seen in Professional and other versions of Windows XP, making the boot-
screen of operating systems resemble each other. Colors in other areas, such as Control Panel
and the Help and Support tool, remained as before.
 Service Pack 2 also added new security enhancements, which included a major revision to the
included firewall that was renamed to Windows Firewall and became enabled by default,
Data Execution Prevention, which can be weakly emulated,[clarification needed] gains
hardware support in the NX bit that can stop some forms of buffer overflow attacks. Also
raw socket support is removed (which supposedly limits the damage done by
zombie machines). Additionally, security-related improvements were made to e-mail and
web browsing. Windows XP Service Pack 2 includes the Windows Security Center, which
provides a general overview of security on the system, including the state of
antivirus software, Windows Update, and the new Windows Firewall. Third-party anti-virus
and firewall applications can interface with the new Security Center
 Service pack 3
 Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) was
released to manufacturing on April 21, 2008, and to the
public via both the Microsoft Download Center and
Windows Update on May 6, 2008.[50][51][52][53]
 It began being automatically pushed out to Automatic
Update users on July 10, 2008.[54] A feature set overview
which details new features available separately as
standalone updates to Windows XP, as well as backported
features from Windows Vista has been posted by Microsoft.
[55] A total of 1,174 fixes have been included in SP3.[56]
Service Pack 3 can be installed on systems with Internet
Explorer versions 6, 7 or 8.[57] Internet Explorer 7 and 8
are not included as part of SP3.[58]
