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

Windows NT kernel and

October 25 2001, and over 400 million copies were in use in
January 2006, according to an estimate in that month by an
IDC analyst. It is succeeded by
Windows Vista, which was released to volume license customers on
November 8,
2006, and worldwide to the general public on
January 30,
2007.
