+==== Recycle bin ====
+In Windows XP, the recycle bin reserved only 10% of the disc space. It refused to hold more. [([[https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/windows-xp-professional/059600348X/ch04s04.html|O'Reilly]])]
+==== Operating system in ATMs ====
+Long after its glory years, Windows XP was still the dominant operating system in ATMs - supporting more than 90 percent of them.

+==== Windows 3.1 NT ====
+In 1993, Microsoft released Windows 3.1 NT, which was based on a completely new kernel. [([[https://microsoft.fandom.com/wiki/Windows_NT_3.1|Microsoft Fandom]])]
+==== Remote desktop ====
+Windows XP supported remote desktop. Today, companies support external programs and tools for remote desktop - for example, when we need technical support. In Windows XP, such a feature was pre-installed and could be used after a short configuration. [([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dbi4Csdtyc|You Tube]])]
+==== Bumpy beginning ====
+Windows XP was not one of the most secure systems - especially in the beginning. In total, more than 70 security vulnerabilities were discovered in it, patched in subsequent updates. [([[https://www.reuters.com/article/urnidgns852573c400693880002576c70042f0f4-idUS4332602920100211|Reuters]])]
+==== Ceased to be supported ====
+Windows XP ceased to be supported in 2014. [([[https://www.entrepreneur.com/business-news/seriously-its-really-time-to-upgrade-from-windows-xp/232145|Enterpreneur]])]
+==== Halo 2 on Vista ====
+Halo 2 was released in 2004 on Xbox, three years before the release of Windows Vista. In 2007 it hit the PC but didn't run on XP - it required DirectX 10, absent for owners of that system. This was a very strange procedure, given that the conversion itself turned out to be quite average.

+==== Mine sweeper ====
+The classic Minesweeper on Windows is still a big challenge today. You can, however, fool the system. All you have to do is type "xyzzy" and then use the combination of Shift+Enter and Enter. A white pixel will appear, which will glow if you hover your mouse over a hidden mine. [([[https://qr.ae/pvxT15|Quora]])]
+==== Windows XP, or "Experience" ====
+Gamers are certainly familiar with the abbreviation "XP." In Internet slang, it simply stands for "experience". [([[https://www.cyberdefinitions.com/definitions/XP.html|Cyber Definitions]])]
+==== No CON folders ====
+CON was one of the most important system files in Windows XP. In the interest of user security, Microsoft has prevented folders from being named this way.

+==== Microsoft Codename Whistler ====
+Before it was released to the wider public, Windows XP was tested in beta. It was called Whistler - after the place in Canada where Microsoft employees used to go skiing. [([[https://winworldpc.com/product/windows-xp/beta-1|WinWorld PC]])]
