【 Weak current College 】 WINDOWS2003 and fundamental difference of Windows XP

WindowsXP

Or Windows XP release on 25 October 2001, the original name was Whistler. Microsoft initially released in two versions, Home Edition (Home) and professional (Professional). Home Edition of consumption objects are a home user, Professional Edition, Home Edition, on the basis of a new design for the business-oriented network authentication, dual-processor. And Home Edition supports only one processor, the Professional Edition supports two. Letter of the English Word XP said "experience" (experience).
WindowsXP is based on Windows2000 code products, but with a new graphical user interface (called the goddess Luna), it includes some minor modifications, some of which appear to be from a Linux desktop environment (desktopenvironmen) such as KDE gain inspiration. Landing with a graphical user interface is an example. In addition, WindowsXP also introduces a "personality" based user interface that makes the tool bar enables you to access the details of the task.
It includes a simplified Windows2000 user security features, and integrate a firewall, to ensure that long dogged Microsoft security issues.
WindowsXP-minimum system requirements: recommended computer clock frequency for 300MHz or higher processor; at least 233MHz (single or dual processor system); recommended IntelPentium/Celeron series, AMDK6/Athlon/Duron family or compatible processor recommended 128MBRAM or higher (minimum support 64M, may affect the performance and some features), 1.5GB available hard disk space, SuperVGA (800x600) or higher resolution video adapter and monitor, CD-ROM or DVD drive, keyboard and Microsoft mouse or compatible pointing device.

WINDOWS2003

The waffling over WindowsXP, Windows2003 (full name WindowsServer2003) is the Microsoft's .NET strategy toward the DPRK and the real step forward. Windows2003 at first name is Windows.NETServer2003, 2003, 1, 9, renamed the WindowsServer2003, and may this year into the mainland market, including StandardEdition (Standard Edition), EnterpriseEdition (Enterprise Edition), DatacenterEdition (Data Center Edition), WebEdition (Network Edition) four versions, each version has a 32-bit and 64-bit two encoding.
It has a large number of inherited WindowsXP friendly operation and network characteristics, Windows2000sever is also suitable for the individual user and the server uses the operating system. Windows2003 full and continued the WindowsXP installation convenient, fast and efficient features, almost does not need much human intervention can automatically complete hardware detection, installation, configuration, etc. Although the name, Windows2003 and continued the Windows family of customary law, but named from its various built-in services and the redesign of the core program, Windows2003 and Windows2000/XP is essentially the difference. Windows2003 minimum requirements for hardware, and is similar to EnterpriseEdition version Windows2000Server on CPU frequency requirements 133MHz above, memory minimum requirements for 128MB.

Comparison:

The following are the specific differences:
1. see what user. If you are a general user, playing computer level is not very high, what problems have asked people in General to help you solve, technically, it is recommended that you use XP or ask others to help you install windows2003. Because windows2003 for security reasons are many, many things that the default is not open, in use, if you have a low level, it might be going to faint.
2, windows2003 design is dedicated to the server, however, after a small amount of parameter adjustment, can be a very good platform for personal entertainment. However, if you have any old hardware, especially the four or five years before the production of things, be sure to understand whether or not compatible. If your machine is new purchases of less than one year, hardly any compatibility problem will occur. In most cases, the hardware driven using win2k or winxp down just fine. In addition, unless you specifically indicate drive suitable for windows2003, otherwise you must not install drivers for the motherboard and the hard disk drive. Other: If windows2003 itself properly understand your hardware, and can make your hardware in normal use, it is best not to drive the other Assembly, or mirrored backup before you try.

3. in the image/movie collection, production, windows2003 seems to have inherent inability (or developers have not kept pace with), many scanners, digital cameras in windows2003 is not in working condition. I have a purple light scanner and Panasonic camera can not. Conversely, in XP to good use.

4, XP multiuser management functionality is very bad, bad enough and windows2000server in XP, not on a disk, a directory of the right to access, read and write, and a special set windows2003 do very well. Therefore, if you want to use multiple user system, want to place the others can't access something, windows2003 is a very good choice, but also for the technology a little good friends would find use in a restricted account, windows2003 99.99% of viruses, Trojans, malicious programs on your machine will not work. (XP can also use a limited account, but no windows2003 management features strong). However, there is one thing stronger than windows2003 XP, XP multiple users log on locally at the same time (start-"off-on switch user) so far, only win XP has this feature.

5, professional computer technician, or want to really learn computer technology friends, windows2003 is a very good choice. Because it is a real Server, many programming environments, many database management only in Server environments can really use. Especially the network environment, IIS, etc, because XP has 9 concurrent users at the same time limit, windows2003 obvious connection than XP to powerful.

6. for most games, windows2003 and no differently under XP. For some old software that is compatible with the following setting to windows2003 way I found at run time, you cannot use under XP, windows2003 but cannot use (such as the universe back Word, etc). The current popular games rarely found under windows2003 could not be used, and in a normal set windows2003 parameters (mainly refers to open the video acceleration, sound card acceleration, DX full functionality and optimize background and optimization of the foreground program settings, etc.), windows2003 no worse than under XP.

7, system security, it should be said with regard to the maturity of friends computer, windows2003 security is far higher than XP, the computer not familiar friend, XP and windows2003 no security, huh, huh, open system comes with retrofitting Skynet firewall or, better (recommended not to use the system comes with a firewall, the gadget features too bad point, Skynet, features strong, simple to use).

8, are strongly recommended mirror backup of your system. In particular, its parameter windows2003, something most people don't know what to use, if arbitrary adjustment is likely to come up with the Scout leaders, technology is not a very good friend, some set windows2003 is not to fiddle with.
