    Hi, I wanted to know how we can differentiate between old and new xp os. What are the version numbers for each? By old and new i mean that in one any one can access C:\Program Files and make changes.But in new only admin can make change to C:\Program Files. I hope i am right in my understanding :) Thanks

      The difference between the new and the old os xp version is that, the old xp os has only limits in terms of updated services, while the newer release now has a lot of services being installed into ur drive whether it is useful or not to your program. that is how, many of us has its own questions why my pc is too slow for my machine that has a 2.66ghz speed, 512mb of ram and intel boards? i hope that this would be a help. :cool:

      THANKS TO: LINUX SLACKWARE, for releasing the new version of slackware.

            Just look at the differences between the versions when you run winver.exe...
