It is one of Microsoft's longest-lasting operating systems, with almost 13 years of support (both mainstream and extended) and still runs on 0.45% of computers worldwide as of January 2023. It is the last client version of Windows to support computers without ACPI and the last to support upgrade paths from Windows NT 4.0, 98, 98 SE, 2000, and Me. There were two individual versions of the tool to create boot disks for either XP Home Edition or Professional. The boot disks had to be created manually using a tool, which could be downloaded from the Microsoft web page. Unlike prior releases, Windows XP no longer ships with a set of bootable floppy disks by default. It also succeeded Windows Me after the end of the Windows 9x kernel. It is the sixth operating system in the Windows NT operating system line, succeeding both Windows 2000 as a Professional edition and Windows Me as a Home edition and preceding Windows Vista which is the predecessor now of Windows 7 for both consumer and media center editions.

Note: Changing the value in Setup.ini on windows 2000 Family (Servers, professional) by just adding 270 at the end removes restriction for entering CD Key ,your CD becomes Volume Licence version. However, I thought that I would provide them should anyone have issue with the installation process. Not sure why these keys were provided for this build from Microsoft.
