    Start at the back, there's some cool stuff on the front, but ignore the sides and base, nothing of interest there usually...

    The case study is about 2000 words and is to highlight the difference to previous windows operating systems, nothing major its just that its my first case study and ive clearly been lazy and put it off. I just dont know what to do or where to start.

    Easy of use?
    System requirements?
    Cost?
    Popularity?
    Most successful?
    Most hated version (+why?)
    What bodes for the future? (where do we go from here?)

    All in relation to earlier versions compared to the present...

    Thanks a million Biggins, thats basically it but i do have to go into slight detail about how it manages memory compared to older system softwares etc.

    Anyone else have any sources i could read up on or anything sites they know that do comparisons between op systems in detail etc etc. Any help greatly appreciated, been going all day and i still dont know where iam!!

    You've wasted about 10 hours now when you could have been Googling. Show us what you have so far.

    Windows XP is a previous operating system.

    TBH it's just Windows 2000 under the bonnet with a Fisher Price user interface. Similar to the difference between Vista and Windows 7

    Why just compare it to older versions of windows, why not compare it to other operating systems too, including newer versions of windows ?
