Windows XP Home Edition gives you the
freedom to experience more than you ever thought
possible with your computer and the Internet. This
is the operating system home users have been
waiting for—because it offers serious stability,
so you can have serious fun.
Create, Share,
and Enjoy Movies on Your Computer With Windows
Movie Maker, Windows XP Home Edition delivers
great software that helps you create, edit, and
share the home movies you make with either an
analogue or digital video camera. When your movies
are complete, you can view them and share them
with family and friends using Windows Media™
Player for Windows XP.
Communicate Any
Time, Anywhere, with Your Computer Because staying
connected is more important than ever before,
Windows Messenger in Windows XP Home Edition
provides features that let you communicate online
with your friends and family any time, anywhere.
Now it's easier to contact anyone, whether they’re
just across town or all the way on the other side
of the country. What's more, Windows XP has
improved the way audio and video are processed and
transmitted across the network, delivering an
improved experience.
Record and Share Your
Memories with Digital Photos, Windows XP is the
best Windows operating system for working with
digital photographs. You’ll find support for
digital cameras and other imaging devices, easy
ways to view and manage image files, and lots of
interesting ways to share photos with friends and
family—including sending them by e–mail, posting
them to a Web site, or printing them.
Discover, Download, Store and Play Your
Favourite Music Windows Media™ Player for Windows
XP is the true all–in–one way to enjoy music and
video on your computer. Windows Media Player for
Windows XP maximizes your system resources,
creating high–quality audio and video files that
take just over a third of the storage space as MP3
and other media file formats. That means you can
store and enjoy more music on your computer.
Share All Your Home Computing Resources In
many households, more than one person uses a
single computer. Whether you have one computer or
a whole network, whether your peripheral hardware
includes a single printer or a wide range of
devices, and whether you connect your devices and
computers with conventional cables or new wireless
technologies, Windows XP Home Edition helps
everyone in your home access all of the resources
they need, from printers to the family photo
collection.
Designed to be the best
operating system for home networking, Windows XP
supports a complete set of home applications along
with the infrastructure to support even richer
experiences coming in the near future. Windows XP
makes it easy for every computer on a home network
to share a single connection to the Internet, to
access peripheral devices including printers and
CD–ROM drives, and to make files such as digital
music or photos accessible to everyone. Windows XP
supports wireless and home phone line network
(HPNA) connectivity, which means you can set up a
home network without having to drill holes and run
cable. What's more, Windows XP Home Edition can be
used as the server for Windows XP Professional, so
you can take your work laptop home and plug it
right in to your home network.
User
Profiles Make Everyone's Computer Experience
Unique User Profiles allow everyone who shares a
home computer to create a distinct profile that
has all of their favourite settings saved. Now,
when you log on to your account, you'll find your
choice of wallpaper on the desktop, the sites
you've chosen in the Favourites folder in Internet
Explorer, your preferences for viewing folders,
and more.
The New Welcome Screen: Keeping
it Personalized The Welcome screen can be
personalized for everyone who uses a home
computer. When you create a User Profile, either
during Setup or from the Control Panel, you can
personalize the Welcome screen by adding a photo
or illustration next to your account name. You can
also set a password on your account if you choose.
Fast User Switching Makes it Easy to Share
a Computer With Fast User switching, you don't
have to close the applications you're working on
when someone else needs to use the computer. You
simply switch out of your account and let the
other person log on to his or her own account. For
example, if you are working on a spreadsheet and
someone else needs to check for an important
e–mail, all you have to do is log off and let them
log on. When they are finished, you just log back
on—your spreadsheet and the other applications you
were using will be open and waiting for you.
The Network Setup Wizard Guides You
Through the Networking Process When you're ready
to set up your own home computer network, the
Windows XP Network Setup Wizard walks you through
all the steps, making it easier than ever to link
computers and devices. With a home network you can
share files (including music and pictures),
multiple printers, CD burners, and more.
Multiple Computers Use the Same Internet
Connection at the Same Time The Internet
Connection Sharing feature in Windows XP lets you
share a single Internet connection among all of
the computers on your home network. That means no
more waiting for your turn when you want to use
the Internet. In addition, the new Internet
Connection Firewall helps keep your home network
safe and secure.
