Winxp unites the old NT and win98/Me codebases into a single entity, so saying that WinXP has nothing from Win98 in it is simply irrelevant ;)
Microsoft aim point was to create a single unified windows platform for every level of deployement from home users to server workers.



Lol,in Winxp There is something called compatibility: Most programs run properly on Windows XP, The exceptions are some older games and other programs that were written specifically for an earlier version of Windows.

Pretty simple, In term of gaming ( Benchmarks are the only FACTS) Winxp offer some significant improvements over WIN2000 PRO.
