    System Advancements:

    • WinXP offered more stability with a reduction of error messages and system crashes.

    • Compatible with 12,000 hardware and software add ons compared to Windows 2000 more limited compatibility with only 6,000.28

    • Continued development towards the implementation of as user friendly and aesthetically pleasing a design as possible. This included consolidation of taskbar items and a two column start-up menu allowing for easier navigation. The system was also designed to maintain a clean desktop, with few items appearing on the desktop upon installation and a feature that offered to clean the desktop periodically.

    • Internet Explorer 6.0, which includes automatic firewall software that prevent viruses from coming in (but do not prevent the user from sending viruses) and an aesthetic redesign.

    • The first edition of Windows that was copy protected, thus allowing users to install the system on only one computer and forcing users to purchase the system for each of their computers.

    • Microsoft applied several techniques for user monitoring including activation, which sends your information back to the company and a "Passport" for the Windows messenger system that requires sign-up with email and address. 29
