Microsoft
Windows Millennium Edition is a home operating system
featuring digital media, an improved user experience,
enhanced home networking, and a rich Internet
experience. Windows computing offers extras like the
Windows Media Player 7 and Windows Movie Maker, and it
supports the latest in gaming technologies like DirectX,
graphics accelerators, in-game chat, and more.
Using Windows is now even safer with
new features like System Restore, to quickly restore
your computer to a previous working state, and System
File Protection, providing built-in safeguards to
prevent accidental deletion or overwriting of key system
files. This operating system even updates itself by
automatically downloading the latest enhancements from
the Web.
The included Microsoft Internet
Explorer 5.5 and Outlook Express afford a rich and full
Internet experience. Take advantage of simple
desktop-based tools to import photos from scanners and
cameras, then organize, print and share them. Newly
enhanced support of home networking includes
step-by-step directions for setting up shared Internet
connections, printers, and other peripherals, with full
support for Ethernet, Home PNA, and wireless networks.
