Hi,

XP stands for eXPerience, back when they were launching Windows XP and
Office XP and all those other products they kept pushing the Experiences,
like You can enjoy brand new Networking experiences, and digital imaging
eXPeriences and so forth.

Who keeps quiet?
This is asked and answered ALL the time.
It's one of those questions where people just ask and ask and ask instead
of taking 5 seconds and doing a search.
