Windows XP is a line of
OS produced by
Microsoft for use on
personal computers, including home and business desktops,
laptops, and
media centers. The name "XP" is short for "experience".
Windows XP is the successor to both
Windows 2000 Professional and
Windows Me, and is the first consumer-oriented operating system produced by Microsoft to be built on the
Windows NT kernel and
architecture. Windows XP was first released 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.
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 XP through their
Custom built PC (smaller OEMs who sell assembled computers) until January 31, 2009.
XP may continue to be available as these sources run through their inventory or by purchasing Windows Vista Ultimate or Business and then
downgrading to Windows XP
