Here we see Microsoft's built in CD writer software. |
A dramtically streamlined Control Panel is sorted more in tasks rather than applets. |
An example of one of MS's appealing visual effects. WinXP fades the background to grey scale when messages such as the Log Off window open. |
The My Computer file manager. |
A revamped my pictures tool adds a dramatically larger preview pane than Windows ME. |
Here you see WinXP rejecting a cookie from
one of my company's sites because we do not have a
what Microsoft calls a "compact privacy statment."
I guess this is the XML-based privacy statment MS
offers over at bCentral. |
RegEdit now has a favorites menu (anyone
who has a favorite registry entry, raise your hand). |
Searching now includes help from an
MS Assitant (Clippet is not available, btw.)
However, unless I'm missing something this is a lot
less efficient because the results don't go into the
search box - they go into the main browser area. |
Text-to-Speech functionality is now packaged
including the "Microsoft Sam" voice. I "interviewed"
Sam, and you can hear him talk about his favorite
operating system here (NOTE: Sam pronounces Linux correct by himself). |
Here is the new start menu. |
