Windows XP Service Pack

Windows XP Service Pack

Abstract:

Windows XP is the Microsoft's newest software. There are two main types of XP software: Office XP and Windows XP.
Windows XP comes in Home and Professional versions. As you may have guessed, the Home version is made for home use, the Professional for office use and advanced home computing.

With Windows XP, programs will start an average of 25% faster than with Windows 98 SE and as fast as they did with Windows 2000. The same performance improvements that make your Windows XP–based computer start faster when you turn it on also make programs start faster when you’re ready to use them.

After you start a program a few times, Windows XP learns the code and data required to launch it. It stores that information where it is easily accessible, so the system wastes no time searching for it the next time you start the program.
