The difference between WIN ME and WIN XP

besides the entire code base i'd have to say

What 2000/XP have over 98/ME
1. stability
2. security (insert laughing here) but compared to the all but nonexistent security in 98/ME it's a big step up
3. better networking capabilities.

there are many other things but thats the basics

windows ME, like 95 and 98, is based on MS-DOS. DOS can only do one thing at a time, has no inherent security features, and no networking capabilities.

Windows XP, like 2k, is based on Windows NT. NT can do many things at once, even at the lowest level, has built-in security capability and networking.

WinME is one of the worst OS'es ever, IMHO... but winXP is probably microsoft's best desktop OS ever (also IMHO 😉)

edit: MSdos is a 16-bit OS... with some hacks for 32-bit stuff. NT is truly 32-bit.

For the record Win9X does multitask, just not very well.
 
Windows ME = For your Kids who love Games
Windows 2000/XP = For Geeks and Hardcore Geeks
Linux/BSD/UNIX = For Hardcore Geeks
Mainframe = For Dummies
Mac = Graphics GURU or Super Dummies

better than win3.x for sure 😉

That's because Win3.x used cooperative multitasking, while Win9X (and every other OS) uses preemptive.
