At launch, Windows XP will support approximately 12,000 third-party devices - from scanners and printers to external drives and add-in cards - nearly twice the number supported by Windows 2000 at its launch. Windows XP also will support the vast majority of popular software applications. More than 1,500 new applications and 4,000 existing applications were tested. In addition, Microsoft worked with software vendors to fix more than 900 applications that did not previously work on Windows 2000. As a result of extensive testing in the United States, 90 percent of the 1,500 most popular applications (distributed in North America) will run on Windows XP
