Windows XP Industry
Windows XP introduced several new features to the Windows line, including:
- Faster start-up and hibernation sequences
- The ability to discard a newer device driver in favour of the previous one (known as driver rollback), should a driver upgrade not produce desirable results
- A new, arguably more user-friendly interface, including the framework for developing themes for the desktop environment.
- Fast user switching, which allows a user to save the current state and open applications of their desktop and allow another user to log on without losing that information
- The ClearType font rendering mechanism, which is designed to improve text readability on Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and similar monitors
- Remote Desktop functionality, which allows users to connect to a computer running Windows XP from across a network or the Internet and access their applications, files, printers, and devices
- Support for most DSL modems and wireless network connections, as well as networking over FireWire, and Bluetooth.
