XP can be more customisable than previous versions, Fast User Switching is a neat feature for computers used by more than one person--it lets another user log on without killing the other user's session, and when you switch back, running applications and open documents are as you left them. Each user has their own special folders, like My Documents, which cannot be seen by other users. And for those with more than one computer, the Network Setup wizard simplifies setting up a network.

Windows XP has some bad points as well the System Recovery can not be accessed by a normal user if you have a system crash ,and if you are unlucky to suffer from a booting problem there is no recovery unlike the later version of Windows Vista
