It also introduced the first  version of System Restore, which allowed users to revert their  system state to a prior "known-good" point in the case of system  failure. System Restore was a notable feature that made its way into  Windows XP. The first version of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Movie_Maker" target="_blank">Windows Movie Maker</a> was introduced also.  Windows Me was conceived as a quick one-year project that served as a  stopgap release between Windows 98 and Windows XP. Many of the new  features were available from the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Update" target="_blank">Windows Update site</a> as updates for older Windows versions, (System Restore and Windows Movie Maker were exceptions). Windows Me was criticised for stability issues, and for lacking <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_mode" target="_blank">real mode</a>  DOS support, to the point of being referred to as the "Mistake Edition"  or "Many Errors." Windows Me was the last operating system to be based  on the Windows 9x (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monolithic_kernel" target="_blank">monolithic</a>) kernel and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS-DOS" target="_blank">MS-DOS</a>.  Windows XP   <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Windows_XP_SP3.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/8/8f/Windows_XP_SP3.png/220px-Windows_XP_SP3.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>  <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Windows_XP_SP3.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://bits.wikimedia.org/skins-1.17/common/images/magnify-clip.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a> Windows XP screenshot    <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Features_new_to_Windows_XP" target="_blank"></a><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Features_new_to_Windows_XP" target="_blank"></a>  In 2001, Microsoft released Windows XP (code named "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Microsoft_codenames" target="_blank">Whistler</a>").  The merging of the Windows NT/2000 and Windows 95/98/Me lines was  finally achieved with Windows XP. Windows XP uses the Windows NT 5.1 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_%28computers%29" target="_blank">kernel</a>,  marking the entrance of the Windows NT core to the consumer market, to  replace the aging 16/32-bit branch. The initial release met with  considerable <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Windows_XP" target="_blank">criticism</a>, particularly in the area of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_Security" target="_blank">security</a>, leading to the release of three major <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service_Pack" target="_blank">Service Packs</a>.  Windows XP SP1 was released in September 2002, SP2 came out in August  2004 and SP3 came out in April 2008. Service Pack 2 provided significant  improvements and encouraged widespread adoption of XP among both home  and business users. Windows XP lasted longer as Microsoft's flagship  operating system than any other version of Windows, from 2001 to January  30, 2007, when it was succeeded by Windows Vista.  Windows XP is available in a number of versions:  <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_XP_Home_Edition" target="_blank">Windows XP Home Edition</a>, for home desktops and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laptop" target="_blank">laptops</a> - lacked features such as joining <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Directory" target="_blank">Active Directory</a> Domain, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_Services" target="_blank">Remote Desktop</a> Server and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Information_Services" target="_blank">Internet Information Services</a> Server.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Windows XP Home Edition N, as above, but without a default installation of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Media_Player" target="_blank">Windows Media Player</a>, as mandated by a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union" target="_blank">European Union</a> ruling</li> </ul> </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_XP_Professional" target="_blank">Windows XP Professional</a>, for business and power users contained all features in Home Edition.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Windows XP Professional N, as above, but without a default  installation of Windows Media Player, as mandated by a European Union  ruling</li> </ul> </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_XP_Media_Center_Edition" target="_blank">Windows XP Media Center Edition</a>  (MCE), released in October 2002 for desktops and notebooks with an  emphasis on home entertainment.

It has the version number NT 5.2. A few services  not essential for server environments are disabled by default for  stability reasons, most noticeable are the "Windows Audio" and "Themes"  services; Users have to enable them manually to get sound or the "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luna_%28theme%29" target="_blank">Luna</a>"  look as per Windows XP. The hardware acceleration for display is also  turned off by default, users have to turn the acceleration level up  themselves if they trust the display card driver.  December 2005, Microsoft released Windows Server 2003 R2, which is actually Windows Server 2003 with SP1 (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service_Pack" target="_blank">Service Pack</a> 1) plus an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plug-in_%28computing%29" target="_blank">add-on</a> package.
