Need help for my assignment on Window XP's features

[Amy Loh]

I got to do an assignment for my college and part of it
wants me to state the advantages of upgrading to Windows
XP from Windows 95 in terms of the enchanced operating
system functions. Anyone can give me any info on that?

Besides using Microsoft ads and a Google search, I would
say...
1. A stable operating system with a secure file format.
2. A secure multi-user interface that requires a password
that can't be by-passed.
3. Current product with support.
4. Bill Gates needs the money [that is what the haters say,
so I included it]

Did you learn anything and do I get credit?

Besides the differences in features, you should be aware of two
other points:

1. You can *not* upgrade from 95 to XP; it's not a supported
upgrade path and a clean installation of XP is required; however
you can use a Windows 95 installation CD as proof of ownership of
a previous qualifying version when doing a clean installation
with the XP upgrade CD.

2. It would be a very rare 95-era computer that would be adequate
to run XP.
