 [Microsoft] Windows XP (often shortened to just ''XP'') is a proprietry 32-bit OperatingSystem that runs on recent [Intel] personal computers.  XP supposedly stands for ''experience''. 

 

 Codenamed '''Whistler''', XP is version 5.1 of the WindowsNT product family.  It features a skinnable user interface and the same 'Start' menu that we tend to have a love or hate relationship with.  The optimised server version of XP is known as '''Windows Server 2003'''.

+!! Wireless Stuff 

+Theres a Service running under XP called the "Wireless Zero Configuration" service, this handles the searching and auto-association of APs and peers that you have configured via the "View wireless networks" configuration process. 

+If you have a card that just wont work under XP, try disabling this service and relying on the Configuration utility that came with the hardware. YMMV.

+NetStumbler, and especially the new .4 version, now supports many cards previously unsupported under XP.
