WinXP == Windows NT 5.1

[SendTrash]

Hey, did you know that from the HTTP variables, WinXP is labeled as NT 5.1? I thought it was a "major" upgrade of the OS

It's pretty common knowledge that WinXP is NT 5.1

XP really just runs the Win2K kernel with rather substantial new GUI features.

The task driven file management of WinXP is a HUGE upgrade.

Are you trolling? I think you are.l

Your not the same rommel who is on NTHIII CS by any chance?

It is a major upgrade to the OS at least on a desktop, average home user level. It will be the first Microsoft operating system marketed directly towards ordinary home users that is not based on the flaky, crash prone 9x kernel. That in itself is a big deal.

It's too bad the Home version of XP is crippled somewhat. I just installed XP Pro earlier today, but so far, besides the weird gui, very similar to Win 2000 Pro(feature-wise), which is my main OS right. I am dual booting 2k Pro and XP Pro.

anyone using the new start menu.. One of the first things i did was switch to the old style start menu. The new one is crap

I thought the new start menu was dumb at first too, but now it's quite hard to go back to the old one. Think of it as an expanded quick launch .
