Microsoft Windows XP Home With SP2B for System Builders 1 Pack - OEM

What do you say about the foundation of everything we do on the PC? Microsoft Windows, since its first release, has become an integral part of our computing lives. From photography to e-mail, gaming to multimedia, Windows is the framework on which all the other applications and programs are built. Without the Windows Graphic User Interface, nothing else would work. This is by design. The developers at Microsoft have worked hard to incorporate every aspect of digital information management and entertainment.

Into digital photography? Windows XP lets you transfer pictures from your digital camera to your computer and helps you organize and share your photos. Open a wide world of fantasy and adventure with PC and online gaming — and take a break from reality to have fun with friends and family at any age. Windows Movie Maker lets you create and edit home movies with a few simple drag-and-drop moves. Then share your movie via the Web, e-mail, your computer, or CD. With its playback features, Windows Media Player lets you enjoy your music and movies whenever you like. Windows Messenger lets you instantly communicate with friends and family all over from your computer, using text chat and even voice and video. Learn new graphic software, and share that, too. Write letters, balance checkbooks, communicate in e-mail worldwide, even learn a new hobby with programs all designed to work only with Windows.

Windows XP includes a suite of features to help you protect your PC from hackers and phishers with the latest security enhancements and regular “patches” from Microsoft. It’s simple and easy to set up for the various users in your family, and there are controls which allow you to restrict and monitor a child’s internet travels. Web browsing is a cinch – Internet Explorer 6 provides a simple interface for web browsing and reading, and helps secure yours system from outside interference. This is the base on which every other personal computing program rests, and is essential for your PC.
