Microsoft Windows

Windows XP Pro

Windows XP is a line of proprietary operating systems (OS) developed by Microsoft for use in general-purpose computer systems. Windows XP, which stands for eXPerience, was the first consumer-oriented OS produced by Microsoft to be built on the Windows NT kernel and architecture. Windows XP is known for its enhanced stability and efficiency over previous versions of Microsoft Windows. Windows XP presented a redesigned graphical user interface, which was a change that Microsoft promoted as being more user-friendly than other versions of Windows.

The most common editions of the OS are Windows XP Home Edition and Windows XP Professional. Northwest Missouri State University uses the Windows XP Professional OS. Client Computing, in an effort to help campus users take advantage of and understand this powerful educational and professional tool, provides basic how-to guide information on how to use Windows XP Professional.
