Beyond the Desktop: Windows XP
TechTV | at | by Mike
Eight months ago, Microsoft chairman Bill Gates showed off Microsoft's new Windows XP operating system for the first time and promised a revolution in how people use computers. Since then XP has been praised for its robustness and stability. At the same time, it's been criticized as another illegal extension of Microsoft's monopolistic power. Code-named Neptune, Odyssey, and eventually Whistler, the OS was officially called XP -- for "experience." "When we started the XP project, which was coded-named Whistler, we had a vision," Gates said. "The vision was to take the experiences that people have today and make them better."
On simular note TechTV is airing a half-hour special on Windows XP tonight at 6:30pm, 9:30pm, and 12:30am Eastern. For DirecTV owners the program will be broadcasted on channel 354.
