When dealing
with Microsoft Products -
Remember that
they use the same words
in different product titles. An example is "Windows
explorer" and "Internet
explorer"
The upgrade path is not always obvious
either!
Windows 95
Windows NT
Windows 98
Windows 2000
Windows ME
Windows XP
The upgrade path is the vertical line
(Windows 2000 is not an upgrade from
Windows 98, it is a totally different product)
