And a few administration features, for added security.

Well, Windows XP isn't as big a drop in quality from Windows XP, as Windows ME was from Windows 2000. I would agree with Gogetenkz, get WinXP Pro, Win2K Pro users will find WinXP Home to be a step backwards, with so many usefull features having been removed.

It's their "New Technology", built off a totally different codebase than DOS. Which is a good thing. I think it was headed by a guy who used to do VAXen and such. Anyway, it's what Windows NT4, 2000 and XP are all based off of. Basically, a much better subsystem. In truth, it's got some very unixy behaviors that they hode from the end user very well.

Other than the above explanation, it is Windows XP itself. The very core of the Operating System.

Windows NT1 through Windows 2000, and Windows XP Pro, are OSes designed for Professional Businesses. Thus they are a much higher quality OS, lacking only gaming support. Until recently anyway, now the "Pro" versions of NT are better for gaming than the "Home" version.

Windows NT 3 used the same interface as Windows 3 but was MUCH more stable.

Here are a few links.

Now let's put everything in perspective here: that's better quality than previous versions of Windows.

Windows itself still picks up the rear of commonly-available operating systems.
