*Support for ACPI existed in Windows 2000 (including sleep, hibernate, etc.)

*The interface enhancements in Windows Me came from Windows 2000 development (even though Me was released first).

*Support for WinSxS existed in Windows 2000.

:I recall Standby and Hibernate being in Windows Me, and I'm pretty sure that Standby was in Windows 98. Also, Windows 2000 was released first out of Windows 2000 (February 2000) and Windows Me (September 2000), despite having a slightly higher version number. --[[User:Evice|Evice]] 19:30, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

::Apparently both of those are also present in Windows 2000, though hibernation is disabled by default. --[[User:Evice|Evice]] 19:38, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to {{plural:1|one external link|1 external links}} on [[Features new to Windows XP]]. Please take a moment to review [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=prev&oldid=707593715 my edit]. If necessary, add {{tlx|cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{tlx|nobots|deny{{=}}InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

== Improper comparisions to other O.S.-es ==

*Added archive http://web.archive.org/web/20111007064132/http://yangcao88.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!45B36D487518CDF5!126.entry to http://yangcao88.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!45B36D487518CDF5!126.entry

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the ''checked'' parameter below to '''true''' or '''failed''' to let others know (documentation at {{tlx|Sourcecheck}}).

* In this article, most Windows XP's features are compared with Windows 98 and Me's features. Although 98 and Me were predecessors to Windows XP in terms of marketing positions (Home usage market etc.), from technological view XP and 98-Me operating systems have very little in common. Windows XP is a direct derivative of Windows 2000. As far as I know, XP is just a slight polish-up of Windows 2000. In my opinion, Windows XP should ONLY be compared to Windows 2000. By comparing XP to Me and 98, it makes it look very advanced and superb, and someone may think that Windows XP was a milestone product, but (as two other wikis said above), most of XP's features were already present in Windows 2000. --[[User:Nihad Hamzic|Nihad Hamzic]] 14:37, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

== Windows XP themes ==

Shouldn't there be mention of Windows XP's new themes and visual style in this article? Perhaps it wouldn't be seen as a new feature, but I think that the new visual interface is a big enough change that there should be at least some reference to it. There is a seperate article ([[Luna (theme)|Windows XP Luna]]) about this, but I think there could at least be something. --[[User:Tech Nerd|Tech Nerd]] 02:21, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

:Hi. The replacement link is no good. It is a 302 error with no working redirect. There seems to be no good archived version of the blog on Wayback Machine. Best regards, [[User:Codename Lisa|Codename Lisa]] ([[User talk:Codename Lisa|talk]]) 21:43, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

== The comparison object ==

Does the article only contain features that are in XP and were not in 2000, with Windows 2000 being the comparison object, or does it also include the features that were not in Windows ME as a second comparison relation? --[[User:Gonxunator|Gonxunator]] ([[User talk:Gonxunator|talk]]) 20:23, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

:The article contains features exclusively new to Windows XP which were not in 2000 nor Windows Me, but which may have been backported after the release of XP via service packs or updates.
