A community portal about Windows XP with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Windows XP is a line of operating systems developed by Microsoft for use on general-purpose computer systems, including home and business desktops, notebook computers, and media centers. The letters "XP" stand for e xp erience. Codenamed Whistler after Whistler, British Columbia, Windows XP is the successor to Windows 2000 and is the first consumer-oriented operating system produced by Microsoft to be built on the Windows NT kernel and architecture. It also put an end to Windows 9x /Me by integrating some of 9x's features into the Windows NT codebase. Windows XP was first released on October 25, 2001, and as of 2006 is the most recent consumer version of Microsoft Windows available to the general public, with over 400 million copies in use, according to an estimate by an IDC analyst.

Microsoft updates SteadyState to Version 2.5

We first reviewed Microsoft's new small network workstation shared access tool, 'SteadyState' just a few weeks ago.

Earlier today, the tool was upgraded to SteadyState version 2.5 and now supports Windows XP (SP2 and SP3) as well as Vista.

Formerly known as the Shared Computer Toolkit for Windows XP, SteadyState delivers a (very) easy to use interface for small group administrators to manage permissions on individual workstations and more.

The utility is a true time saver and can be deployed easily and quickly across small and medium size networks.

The new version of SteadyState can be downloaded here, as well as a new handbook which can be found here.
