Why, How to Windows Xp Blog

Why this blog, What it is all about?

I have been using computers and internet for more than ten years now. My first experience with a computer happened 10 years ago at my college library. I was studying under graduation at PSG college, Coimbatore. My college library had few computers accessible by students. They had black & white terminals with sturdy keyboards. Students use to search books. The library had huge volumes of books properly cataloged. I had no experience with computers before. A few of my class mates could work on them. I learned by watching them.

Things changed when i learned computer science and took it as my profession. Now i can program computers, assemble computers, repair computers, repair hardware and software etc. With the release of Windows XP, the no frills operating system by Microsoft, many people become computer experts because of its ease of use and less bugs. Its predecessor Windows 98, Desktop operating system too was a lovely product. Windows XP's GUI (Graphical User Interface) and reliability was greatly improved over Windows 98. The kernel / heart of the operating system was completely revamped. The Windows NT kernel was used in XP (code named longhorn). This improved the performance and reliability.

Even after the release of Windows Vista many users are still loyal to Windows XP. They still stick with Windows XP. I still see after purchasing new laptop / desktop computers with pre-installed Windows Vista many people format it and install Windows XP. I think the things will change after release of Windows 7, the much expected latest version of Windows. Microsoft released it last year and commercial versions are becoming available in India. Its success can not be predicted now.

This blog is for those still want more their Windows XP computer. I will offer tips, tweaks, how-to-dos and troubleshooting ideas. So keeping looking for new posts on this blog to get you updated on Windows XP.
