Microsoft’s Windows system has many classics. For the current generation of users, the Windows XP system may be the most memorable, and this classic operating system is already 20 years old.
Microsoft announced the Windows XP system on February 5, 2001, and released the official version of the Windows XP system RTM on August 24 of that year, exactly twenty years ago. It replaced the Windows 2000 system in 1999, but it was officially launched on October 25 of that year.
Compared with the previous system, Windows XP has many innovations in that era. The most important one is the UI interface. At the same time, the performance is improved, the startup speed is faster, and it is more stable. Of course, the more classic is the IE6 browser. It’s memorable.
Since 2000, the Internet has gradually taken off, and the rise of various websites has also led many people to start accessing computers. The “Big Posts” sold in the front of the electronic mall will definitely have a complete XP package, as well as various fancy magic revisions. The Windows XP system was upgraded to SP3 three times between 2002 and 2008, and finally ended the mainstream support in 2009, but the extended support extended it to 2014, which is considered to be quite long-lived in the Win family system.
Today, Windows XP is not mainstream, but it is still not extinct in the world. Statistics website Statcounter shows that it still has a 0.59% market share, which is still more than double the 0.26% of the later Vista. .
