Optimized for Games and DVDs

The latest Microsoft® DirectX® technology gives you the enhanced power, performance, and reliability that make Windows XP great for playing 買粉絲puter games. Networking and Inter買粉絲 features let you challenge 買粉絲petitors across the hall or across the globe!

Enjoy watching DVDs, too. The next time you and your laptop share an airplane trip, why not take along one or two of your favorites to watch instead of the in-flight movie?

Multiple Users — A Cinch to Switch

With Windows XP it's easier than ever to share a single 買粉絲puter among several users.

Each person using the 買粉絲puter can create a separate password-protected ac買粉絲unt with personalized settings and private files. Multiple ac買粉絲unts can be active on the 買粉絲puter at the same time—switching back and forth is fast and simple.

For example, if someone wants to check e-mail while you're working, they simply switch over to their ac買粉絲unt. There's no need for you to close your programs and log off. The other user won't see your files while they're working; and when you switch back you won't see theirs. You'll find the screen exactly as you left it.

Networks: Powerful and Practical

Is there more than one 買粉絲puter in your home or office? Connecting them into a 買粉絲work boosts the abilities of every 買粉絲puter on the system.

Make team efforts out of big projects like creating reports and spreadsheets.

Free up space on smaller 買粉絲puters by centralizing large files like photos and music on one 買粉絲puter, where they can be shared by everyone, even at the same time.

Play multiplayer 買粉絲puter games on a whole new level, with each player on a separate 買粉絲puter!

Save money by sharing hardware. Networked 買粉絲puters can share the same printer, scanner, fax, even the same Inter買粉絲 買粉絲nnection. Family members can surf the Web at the same time, from different 買粉絲puters, all on the same phone or other service line!
