Windows XP is an Operating System shortly OS. OS is a platform to use all resources of a computer, i.e. hardwares.
When you boot/start your PC OS started first and lets you run other software.
Windows XP is released by Microsoft Corporation and XP stands for Experience. Previously mirosoft released other OS's like MS-DOS, Windows 3.11, 95, 98, ME, 2000, 2003. Next OS from them is Windows Vista.
Except windows there are other OSs like unix, linux, ubantoo, mac etc.
You need to buy windows and its source code is not free. Again linux is a opensource OS.

Windows XP is a line of operating systems developed by Microsoft for use on general-purpose computer systems, including home and business desktops, notebook computers, and media centers. The letters "XP" stand for experience.[1] Codenamed "Whistler" after Whistler, British Columbia (as many Microsoft employees skied at the resort during its development), Windows XP is the successor to Windows 2000 and is the first consumer-oriented operating system produced by Microsoft to be built on the Windows NT kernel and architecture. It also put an end to Windows 9x/Me by integrating some of 9x's features into the Windows NT codebase. Windows XP was first released on October 25, 2001, and as of 2006 is the most recent consumer version of Microsoft Windows available to the general public, with over 400 million copies in use.
The most common editions of the operating system are Windows XP Home Edition, which is targeted at home users, and Windows XP Professional, which has additional features such as support for Windows Server domains and dual processors, and is targeted at power users and business clients. Windows XP Media Center Edition has additional multimedia features enhancing the ability to record and watch TV shows, watch DVDs, and listen to music. Windows XP Tablet PC Edition is designed to run the ink-aware Tablet PC platform. Two separate 64-bit versions of Windows XP were also released, Windows XP 64-bit Edition for IA-64 (Itanium) processors and Windows XP Professional x64 Edition for x86-64 processors.
