Windows XP Home

Depending on stock, we may ship Windows XP Home OEM with SP2 to fulfill your order.

A quick look: Windows XP Home is the consumer-grade edition of Microsoft's most popular operating system.

XP^® Home Edition is the most popular release of Microsoft's^® Windows^® operating system. Windows XP Home is the most economical edition of XP, offering a stable operating system, but without the networking features of XP Pro. Building on previous versions of Windows, XP offers a more secure and stable operating system, with improved peripheral support and helpful system recovery features. Installation of this software requires a blank hard drive or a hard drive format.

• The XP Experience
  The XP Home operating system offers higher levels of stability and security than previous versions of Windows. It's designed for home users, students, and first-time computer users. XP offers a more intuitive interface than before, improved plug-and-play support, and better power management features, especially useful for laptop users.
   
• Notes for Mac Users
  If you want to install Windows XP on an Intel-based Apple^® computer, you cannot use this software. You may use any 32-bit edition of Windows Vista or Windows XP (with SP2 or SP3 on the installation disc) by using Apple's Boot Camp 2.1 technology. OEM editions, like this one, will not work with Parallels or Fusion.
   
• Additional Features
  Windows XP Home with SP1 includes the System Restore feature, allowing you to roll back to a previous state if unwanted changes are made to your system. The Help and Support center includes a remote assistance option, and the operating system offers support for 802.1x wireless networks.
