A First Look at the Windows XP User Interface
Windows® XP brings a new look to the familiar Windows user interface. Here's
a first look at what the next generation has in store.

Welcome Screen/Login
Windows XP makes it easy to create individual accounts for everyone who
uses your computer. This means that when each of you log on, you will
have your own, individualized computing environment. And if your family
shares a computer, Windows XP allows you to quickly switch between users
without closing down and restarting any programs.

Start Menu
The familiar Windows interface has been enhanced to make it even easier
to use. New visual cues help you find important information, and the
redesigned Start menu makes it easier to access the programs you use
most frequently.

strip and lets you manage your digital pictures more easily than ever
before.

My Music
Windows XP offers an effortless way to find, organize, and play digital
music directly from your PC. Storing all your files in the My Music
folder lets you organize and view each item by artist, album, and track
number. You can even see the the album cover art for many of your CDs.

Windows Media Player 8
Windows Media Player 8 (MP8), a feature of Windows XP, is the first
player to combine all of your common digital media activities into a
single, easy-to-use place. MP8 makes it easy for you to watch videos and
DVDs, listen to music, organize your media into personalized playlists,
tune in to nearly 3,000 Internet radio stations, transfer music to a
portable player, or create custom CDs. You can even personalize the
player's appearance by selecting your own skins, colors, designs, and
features.
