Windows XP Web Sites

Since Windows XP comes in both a Corporate and Home Edition, we've found that the vast majority of independent sites are geared for the home user more interested in gaming, changing the desktop, and "tweaking" the OS a thousand ways from Sunday. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.) To make life easier for the professional administrator, we've split this section up into resources for IT Professionals, and a section of some the top XP sites for home/power users. If you think we missed a site that should be on this page, drop us a line at webmaster@ciscohighway.com
