The
History Of Windows
Let's take a
tour of the various flavors of Windows. Which one do you have?
Windows 95 was aimed at the home consumer. It was a replacement for the
original Windows 3.1. Windows 95 was available in three versions.
The original version
Windows 95 OSR2 (an updated version)
Windows 95 OSR2 (with USB support)
Windows 98 was a follow
up from Windows 95 with various improvements and enhancements. It comes in two versions:
The original Windows 98
Windows 98 SE (Second Edition)
Windows ME (millenium Edition) is the latest version of Windows and will
be replaced by a brand new version of windows late in 2001
Windows CE (Compact Edition) is the version of Windows that you may find on a palmtop or handheld computer.
Windows NT or ‘New Technology’ is really aimed at the corporate market.
(It comes in two versions, Workstation and Server.) For the home consumer It can be complicated to use although there are
similarities between Windows NT Workstation and Windows 95/98/ME.
Windows NT Server is the software that large
organizations use to run their computer networks.
Windows 2000 comes in various versions and is again aimed at the corporate market but it’s look and feel is the same as Windows ME but with NT technology and features built in. This version is plug and play unlike previous NT software.
Windows XP (previously codenamed Whistler) will replace all versions of Windows and is due to be release on 25th October 2001. It will come in a personal version to use at home and more advanced versions that can be used within the workplace.
