Computer Training Schools Columnist

As the standard operating system for millions of users nationwide, Windows XP is an operating system designed for casual home computer users and power business users. According to an International Data Corporation 2006 survey, over 400 million copies of XP are being used. A litany of colleges, universities, and business schools offer technical training in the platform to accommodate the popularity and to help people become educated in how to use and troubleshoot the system.

Notable Features of Windows XP

It's no secret that Microsoft is a major player when it comes to computer software and operating systems. Part of the reason businesses and individuals both flock to its products is simple: its features.
  • It Has Backbone. Windows XP operates on a fusion of the Windows 2000 and Windows NT workstation.
  • Do More, Faster. The reinvented Windows engine allows you to perform several complex tasks at once using an enhanced virtual memory. Stand by and start up times have been greatly reduced.
  • It's Secure. Using such technologies as Internet Protocol Security, Kerberos V5, a firewall, and cookie management, you can expect greater security from the Windows XP OS.

Windows XP Training

Windows XP training and certification is the preferred credential for technology professionals working in a small business environment.
  • Microsoft Communities. Train with cohorts in a virtual classroom environment.
  • Certification. Microsoft offers XP experts with certificates in Microsoft certified systems.
Technical training in the Microsoft XP operating system will prepare you to make immediate contributions to any IT team or simply feel more comfortable using the system.
