What is the different between windows XP,ME and 98 ???

Answer 1

Windows 98 is an improvisation of Windows 95, a true 32bit GUI OS. This introduced newer technologies like FAT32 file system, IE4 etc, Active Desktop, USB support , MMX, SSE support, etc. Ships with DirectX 6. Protected memory, dual-HAL (abstraction layers) support for the Windows Driver Model (WDM). In 1999 a newer Windows 98 Second Edition with a host of security updates was released. This allowed basic networking with support for Telnet, PPPoE, IPv4, also supported domain based networks aside from Workgroups. The Explorer integrates HyperText Templates for providing previews, folder customisations. Two tone gradient title bar and Quick Launch.

Windows Me ( Millennium Edition) is a rather dull remake of Windows 98, has a few security improvements, IE5.5, ADSL support, Windows Media Player 7. This is very unstable and crash prone. Totally gets rid of the DOS backend. Has an integrated Video Editor (Windows Movie Maker)

Windows XP is an implementation of the Windows 2000 kernel, which is the typical "Client inside Server" kernel that is very stable, shares Windows 2000 device drivers, Supports host of newer hardware, SATA RAID, uses libraries originally made by Stardock to add visual themes (skins) to Windows. Support for IPv6, USB 2.0, NTFS file system. Totally eliminates DOS, has a DOS emulator called cmd.exe

Windows XP Professional
- Can be joined to domain.
- has terminal services
- can be used as a server
- it has wwwroot folder (asp files can be run)
- Can be controlled by group policies.
- Can open gpedit.msc and write local policies
- Has the Windows 2000 Management Console
ME and 98:
- These are more end-user oriented with less abilites.
- No group policiess here
- Easy on resources.
** In 2000, XP you can use CD drive in safe mode.
The same is not possible in 98 and ME. You also have a Safe Mode with Networking on Command prompt

Answer 2

System Restore. Exists in Windows XP but not 98.

see anotheris that;
XP Prof:
- Can be joined to domain.
- has terminal services
- can be used as a server
- it has wwwroot folder (asp files can be run)
- Can be controlled by group policies.
- Can open gpedit.msc and write local policies

XP Home, ME and 98:
- These are more end-user oriented with less abilites.
- No group policiess here

** In 2000, XP you can use CD drive in safe mode.
The same is not possible in 98 and ME

Answer 4

First:
XP is based on NT
98 and Me are wrappers for DOS

Second:
XP has that new interface look, compare to the same look 98/Me have with 95

Third:
95 OSR2 has FAT32 already, think of 98/Me simply as evolutionary products. XP can use NT-features with first attempt to put NT-based Windows onto the masses.

As long as DOS exist as a core, the OS is not pure 32-bit, which means 98/Me are not 32-bit, FYI the act of switching 16/32-bit modes is called "thunking".
