Windows HP: Microsoft's new look for fall, in size XXL

Article Abstract:

Microsoft's Windows XP comes with heft. The operating system requires 300 megahertz processor (minimum) from your personal computer, 64 memory megabytes and an hour of your time for installation. A slumping PC market is hopeful that many will have to upgrade to accommodate the 2 gigabytes needed to buy XP on October 25. Although the consumer has to log in for every use, the bells and whistles are swell with three-dimensionals and animations. The taskbar automates and organizes easy access to all documents and the start menu uses superimpositions; all can be turned off to simplify the look. The look is sparkling clean and an offer is made every few weeks to clean-to-a-folder gratuitous icons. The enhancements are many and profound. The down side is that only fairly new PCs can entertain the power-hungry XP.

Browser battle: beyond the numbers

Article Abstract:

Netscape and Microsoft have both released new versions of their Internet browser software. Microsoft's changes to Internet Explorer version 6.0 are mostly cosmetic, involving the look of the browser and not what it can do. It's cookie-blocking feature only works with the 100 or so Web sites with the P3P compact privacy policy. Netscape's Navigator 6.1 brings back many popular features from earlier versions and adds many 'convenience' features allowing for less typing.
